I know we are behind the times, seeing as 2012 will most likey be shortly relaeased. We save the majority of our drawings in AutoCAD 2000 format in order to pass on to our clients. AutoCAD 2010 created a lot of proxy information. Which has been a bit of a problem till I learned how to use -EXPORTTOAUTOCAD. We then discovered some stray MTEXT entities that only show up if you actually open in AutoCAD 2000 or 2002. I think it has something to do with MTEXT dynamic columns. If I open and save the same drawing thru 2007 they disappear. I had to write a routine to remove the extra characters in 2010. I the majority of our stuff is 2d model space, very old school. Will this variable have an effect on anything that is not annotative. We are in the process of upgrading to AutoCAD 2010 from AutoCAD 2007.
