SYMPTOMS
When you convert a drawing that was drawn by using Autodesk Inc.'s AutoCAD into a Microsoft Office Visio 2007 or Microsoft Office Visio 2003 drawing, and that drawing contains furniture blocks, you can see label boxes in the converted Visio drawing that were not visible in AutoCAD or Visio CAD Object Display.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the furniture blocks in AutoCAD contain block name labels that have been set to a very small font size that is not visible in AutoCAD. When the file is converted to Visio, the text converts to the minimum Visio text size. As a result, the text can be seen.
