Labels not showing in AlphaCam after DXF export

Created by Thiago Silva, Modified on Thu, 11 Dec at 7:36 PM by Thiago Silva

Summary

When exporting a DXF file from Match, the labels may not appear in AlphaCam. This happens because the Text import option inside AlphaCam is disabled.


Problem

The client exports a DXF from Match with labels enabled, but AlphaCam does not display the labels when opening the file.


Cause

AlphaCam has a specific Text option that determines whether labels/annotations are imported from DXF.
Even if Show text in DXF is enabled in Match, labels will not appear if this setting in AlphaCam is unchecked.


How to Fix

Follow these steps inside AlphaCam:

  1. Open AlphaCam

  2. Go to File > Open

  3. Select the exported DXF file.

  4. On the first import screen, locate the Text option

  5. Check/enable the Text option

  6. Continue opening the file normally

After this, the labels will be displayed correctly in the imported project.


Additional Validation

Before exporting, confirm that Match is configured correctly:

Settings > Match > Match Settings > Export DXF Settings > Show text in DXF
Must be enabled

  • Fusion / Match DXF Export
