Duplicate post, because I’m using Windows, Rh8 SR29.

> When exported to dwg, text fields containing Block attribute user text are broken : their alignment is not respected and even the content seems to be stripped in some way. Document user text is fine however. Here a simple sample file demonstrating the bug : [BUG-Export-dwg-Annot-align-Block-attibute.3dm](https://discourse.mcneel.com/uploads/short-url/yC4HQvjxnMAW76CyuGZ2ydAEItK.3dm) (3.2 MB) In Rhino : After exporting :

a quick test in Rhino WIP alignment export is OK.

Looks like it was fixed in this YT. [https://mcneel.myjetbrains.com/youtrack/issue/RH-88129/File-IO-DWG-Attribute-Text-Justification-Incorrectly-Exports-to-DWG-DWF](https://mcneel.myjetbrains.com/youtrack/issue/RH-88129/File-IO-DWG-Attribute-Text-Justification-Incorrectly-Exports-to-DWG-DWF) I’ll see if it can be cherry-picked easily back into 8.x today.
