Export to DWG: Civil Labeller and field texts

We need an option to drop field and labels text to plain text.


After exorting to AutoCAD, when using Civil Lables or Field texts that extract values from civil elements, specially terrains, sometimes the text turn out with a 0.00 when opening the .dwg.

From what i could find out, the field text was mantained in Civil 3D, but because the terrains are no longer in the file, the field lost it's reference and returns a zero value.

The thing is, this doesn't happens everytime and it also depends if you use "Save As" or "Export". My main workflow is using the Civil Tool Batch Converter, it's always random.

But the more complex the label, the greater the probabilities of error..

For example, I have on label that returns the elevation of two diferent terrains at on point.

The best result I got was kepping the value of just one of them, the other was blank.

    We have had issues with just regular plan view labeling when the alignment reference is removed or the alignment changes our labels go to zero, we should have a wy to drop the field texts or to be able to reattach another reference element for all labels at once to avoid having to change each individual label at a time
