Is there some way to avoid this?
A quick way to convert all MText entities in a drawing is to save the drawing back to DataCAD 11 format. Since DataCAD 11 did not support MText, all MText entities get converted to single line text.
To save a file back to DataCAD 11 format, choose "Save As DataCAD 11 AEC" from the "File" pull-down menu. You'll need to supply a new name for the file as part of this process.
