  Incident Diagnosis
  INCORRECT SYMBOLS IN THE IMPORTED DXF FILE
  .
  Development Request Justification
  These characters are included in the MText entity
  with the form {\Fgdt;`} that corresponds to the
  local change of the font to gdt.shx, inside of a text
  that was defined in the font txt.shx.
  This feature is not supported and that is
  documented in the CATIA
  documentation "Importing a DXF/DWG file into a
  CATDrawing".
  Removing this limitation would lead in a new
  development that is not yet planned.
  .
  Answer and By-Pass
  Either define these symbols in a separate string
  that has a global font gdt.shx, or insert them in the
  string with the usual dxf form:
  %%c for diameter
  %%p for plus-minus
  .
