    Hi there,
    I have a simple question here. For some reason, our software, that uses dxf
    files as a background map, doesn't read text.
    Is there a convinient way to change text into polyline. I've tryed explode,
    but it doesn't work.

    Thanks

    Change the width of the text ever so slightly, like 1.000001. Use
    WMFOUT,
    WMFIN, scale up, usually by 2, if necessary explode, place a box around
    the
    text, change to another layer, use boundary and select appropriately,
    lock
    that layer, erase the remaining.

    you can use the function TXTEXP from Express tools (Menu Express-Text-Explode Text)

    There is an express tools utility that explodes text to lines.
