Hi JP,

this is very easy to explain. Text is not processed by DXF2GOCDE. If you want 
to have text which will be processed you Need to convert it to geometry in 
AutoCAD first. I do not know how this is done in AutoCAD but in QCAD this is 
very simple Option which can be selected. Just try to ask Google, i'm sure you 
will find the answer there :-) ....

regards
Christian
