SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Office Visio 2003, if you rotate a shape that contains text and you also change the alignment of the text, after you save the file as an AutoCAD drawing (.dwg file) and then reopen it, you notice that the text is positioned incorrectly. The text is no longer in the same position as before you saved the file, and frequently appears outside the shape.



CAUSE
This problem occurs when you save your Visio 2003 file that contains text that has been rotated and aligned, as an AutoCAD drawing (.dwg file). When you save your Visio 2003 diagram as a .dwg file, the angle of the rotated text is calculated before the text position is adjusted based on the alignment, causing the text to appear in an incorrect position.
