Question

adding text to a name plate, then text is exploded upon export to .DWG?

Why is it that text on a pro-e wildfire or creo modeled panel or name plate is exploded to lines when exported to a .dwg file from a 2D layout? What do you have to do to achieve getting editable text when it is exported to a .dwg file? Must you use annotate?

Geometry text is created from curves, not text as normal. It is a special interface that allows you to manipulate it as text but it is not recognized in any of the export formats that I know of.

I know that annotations used as notes are editable when exported. But you can't position them near as easily as text for exact location. Are using annotation notes the only way to get editable text after export to .dwg?

True, annotation exports are a good feature but not all the style settings for the text are exported. It is almost hit and miss if you need it to be placed properly.
