    Is there a way to control the text style SW uses when exporting or is it
    hardcoded.

    I have found it best to use a true type font.

    I don't understand. Are you refering to the text you use in SW or that you
    export to in dwg. How are they maped. Is there a font mapping file
    somewhere that can be edited? Is there a template.

    When you 'Save As' DWG you can select the options button - this opens a
    dialogue box - in the top RH corner you can select Fonts: - Trutype or
    AutoCAD standard types only. Play around a bit till you find the best
    option.

    I use the default Century Gothic in SW drgs and find that it 'expands' a bit
    when the drawing is saves as a DWG. I think someone on the group said they
    had tried a variety of fonts and advised the results. Maybe try a nice
    standard font like Arial?
