I'm trying to write some DXF files manually using VBA, the ideia is to create a macro that transform a list of names in text in DXF.The first files i just ploted a simple line and it opens just fine in Autocad but as soon i insert an text entity it doesnt work anymore, i read a lot of documentation , tried some solutions presented here in the forum but dont have a clue what is going on, can someone cast some ligth on this?
this is the code that i used:

$ACADVER

I tried to change the font to romans or standart and didnt work, i want to plot text that can be opened in AutoCad with no problems.I Read some questions on the forum but none of the aswers worked i need some examples...
The TEXT entity contains an invalid tag with group code 370 - Autodesk TrueView also reports this:
Undefined group code 370 for object on line 68.
Invalid or incomplete DXF input -- drawing discarded.
Delete the lines containing 370 and 122 and the file will open in TrueView or AutoCAD.
