DXF ASCII to write multiple text strings

Question

I can't seem to add multiple text strings to a DXF file. It works for when I only have a block of code for 1 line of text. I can't seem to add multiple lines.

I created the code shown below. Any help would be very much appreciated.

The DXF file with the code shown above will not open in AutoCAD and/or Microstation. However it does open in LibreCAD which appears to be more forgiving with syntax.

I'd like it to open in AutoCAD AND Microstation. Any input would very much be appreciated.

Answer 1

Handles (DXF group 5) should be unique within a file.

As such, you should not use the same handle for both text entities:
