CREO DRW to DWG, Dimension Lines Issue

Hi All,

I am trying to export a CREO Drawing File into DWG format to open in AutoCAD. 

I have found an issue with the configuration option: intf2d_out_acad_mtext (Export multi-line note a MTEXT)

 

For dimensions with values that are placed outside of the dimension range, the leader line ends aligned with the value & text. See attached "Example_From_CREO", the DWG export should reflect this visual.

 

However, upon exporting to .DWG, to result is an extended leader line (like a tail), beyond the value and text. See attached "Example 1" and "Example 2". 

 

I've noticed that changing the configuration option of "Export multi-line note as MTEXT seems to fix this issue, but in turn all other notes on the drawing are treated as single line text, when they should be MTEXT.

So it appears that the export process is treating dimension lines like notes.

 

Is there a way to configure dimension text such that it is treated differently to notes?

Please specify which software versions you are using.

Hi,

I have experienced this issue in CREO3, CREO4 and most recently CREO 8.0.6.0

And AutoCAD?

AutoCAD currently 2021 Mechanical, tested on 2020, 2019 and a colleague has a version of 2015 that this issue also appears on.
