Hello,

 

 

I have annotations stored in a file geodatabase, and can convert the text into dgn labels.

 

 

Is there a way of translating the geomerty of annotation callout boxes into lines/polygons? They do not come through automatically...

Hi,

 

 

If by 'callout boxes' you mean the bounding box of the text, then yes just use the boundingboxreplacer on the text to get the polygons.

Thanks Itay. Yes I thought you could do it that way - what I need to do though is bring through the geomerty of the callout.

 

 

For example if you place an annotation with a callout box, and move the text, you get a speech bubble type leader line to where it was originally placed.

 

 

Is there a way of extracting that information and creating the polygon?

Hi Owen,

 

 

I am not sure I understand you, but if you know the location of the object to which the annotation belong, you can try and add a point (2DPointAdder), for example the UR point of the object boundingbox, to the annotation boundingbox polygon.
