Exporting to autocad - fixing dimensions

I am using CA Pro X15. When I export a plan to Autocad, the dimensions are wrong. The text, which is set to be placed over the dimension line, comes into Autocad in the dimension line. I have tried updating the dimensions in Autocad but it doesn't work. I have to manually move each dimension back up over the line. Also the settings in the Properties box for this setting is grayed out so I can't do it that way. Has anyone found a work-around? I know it's a small issue but can be very time consuming.

 

Thanks!

Hi I'm using Home designer pro, and old Chief x1, and export to DWG and DXF quite a bit .

You will need to setup a Autocad template and standards file in Autocad, (or in my case NanoCadv5(free)) specifically for importing Chief or HDP files. I have not found a better way to do it. Once your template and standards are setup, it should automatically convert correctly  when importing Chief/HDP

Also use these settings, I find to be better for fills in AC or Nanocad
