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?
