Hi,

I have text from a source DWG that contains all the information needed to create an annotation class in a geodatabase (text size, rotation, color hex/RGB/fme, etc.). I’m able to create the annotation class in the GDB, but all the text comes in as black, even though the original text has different colors.

What am I missing?

    Hi,

    I have managed to match the annotation color between CAD and gdb by setting following attributes 

    Unfortunately there is sth wrong with the size. Created annotation is smaller in comaprison to GIS. I think that the Definded Width from CAD should be use as a size but I cannot expose that attribute in CAD
