Hi,
 
I'm frequently exporting TAB data directly from MapInfo to DXF using either the Universal translator, Table|Export or Discovers Export|3D.  Despite these three different options, I regularly come across CAD packages that can't read the attribute data within the DXF file.  8/10 the graphical data appears in the CAD package, eg contour lines, but the user can't find out what the elevation is.    Experimenting with blocks & without blocks etc doesn' t help.  So my questions are:
 
1) has anyone got a reference to a good description of dxf files and there (apparently many) different components/versions?
 
2) has anyone come across a 3rd party DXF export utility that offers a few more option when generating DXF files?
 
Thank you kindly,
