Ultiboard Mechanical Cad multiple lines text DXF export issue

The text tool in Ultiboard Mechanical Cad allows multiple lines of text when using a Windows font, although a square symbol marks the end of each line. When using a line font, it displays as one, not multiple lines.

 

In either case, when one exports to a *.dxf file of that layer, the *.dxf file can't be read. I tried 2 different *.dxf file readers and got the same results (Error reading file).

 

I entered the drawing notes line by line, and the *.dxf file was OK.

Hi Tien P,

 

Attached is the Ultiboard Project file

     viaTest.ewprj

 In Ultiboard Mechanical Cad Drawing 1, there is the text "Abc" in a Line Font.

Export using DXF to a *.dxf file.

Change "Abc" to

"Abc

Bcd"

(So there is a carriage return within the text)

Export using DXF to another *.dxf file

The *.dxf reader used reads in the first but reports an error with the second *.dxf file.
