We have a DWG that has a number of scale bars shown in paperspace. In the DWG the units are visible

But when it is brought into FME the units are missing.

 

My guess is that the units are dynamically generated in the DWG based on the viewport scale and as such are not really annotation but some attribute / tag associated with the line.

Is there a way for FME to find the values so they can then be used to output to PDF.

 

 

Update 1:

Here is a a sample DWG with the issue included.

Update 2:

What I have discovered is the scale bar is a 'block' and the text is a tag associated with the block.

Is there a way to convert the 'tag' to text in FME?

 

@deanhowell if you attach an example dwg with the scalebar it's easier for people to reproduce your issue. And more likely to get a quicker response.

Thanks @nielsgerrits, I have uploaded a sample drawing so people can see the issue.

Thanks @nataliewlock your article helped me get the solution I needed :)
