Hi, I have a feature class of polygons that I would like to convert to a text layer in the DGN file with one of the attributes as the text shown. I have played about with GeometryCoercer and tried  changing the format attibutes (igds_type and igds_text_elements{}.igds_text_string) but cant get text to display in the place of polygons. Has anyone managed to do this?

Thanks, are there any guides to formatting the text. Is it by insering numbers to igds_text...  format atttributes

Normally after labeling the features the fme_text_string attribute value will be transfered to the igds_text_string, automatically transfering the values.
