How Text Is Handled When Importing From Autocad

[TSJDesign]

Hey all -

I've taken the plunge and started importing the civil plats that are sent to me by my clients into Chief rather than doing site work in Autocad.  The conversion process has worked pretty well, with one exception. The text in the imported file always comes in to Chief as Rich Text, even if I explode all of the Mtext (autocad analog to Rich Text) into plain text.  This makes for a formatting mess  (for whatever reason the text boxes are never wide enough so the text waterfalls (wraps?) into a column of letters) - is there a way to specify how text is converted on import, or some way within chief to convert Rich Text to plain Text?

 

Thanks

Todd
