Hi, I am performing a CAD reprojection in FME and it has messed up my the text layers. I am reading and writing the data dynamically. Any ideas of what might cause the text size to blow up? Any parameters to tweak?

Thank so much for the help

Hi,

Not familiar with the ground units of the NJNAD83 coordinate system, but that would the first I would check to see if it is similar to the target coordinate system.

Most likely you have to reproject the CAD specific attributes which hold geometric information as well. For example, use the AttributeReprojector to similarly reproject the AutoCAD text alignment point attributes.

Working with @gerry, we found the removing the "autocad_text_size and "autocad_original_text_size" format attributes before writing helped to resolve this problem.
