We are using FME to export some graphic geometry objects to microstation format. We are successful in writing simple text elements(single line text) using "igds_type = igds_text". But we have some multi text elements to be exported which we could not write using "igds_type = igds_text". Since this requires to build a complex element with a group of text strings under a text node, we thought we can do it using igds_multi_text type. So, we wrote the following code in VB. 

Dim fmeFeatureObj As FMEOFeature

 

 

fmeFeatureObj.geometryType = FME_GEOM_POINT

 

 

fmeFeatureObj.attribute("igds_type") = "igds_multi_text"

 

 

fmeFeatureObj.attribute("igds_text_elements{0}.igds_text_string") = "Line1"

 

fmeFeatureObj.attribute("igds_text_elements{1}.igds_text_string") = "Line2"

 

 

//{comment: Set other attributes like size, font, rotation, justification for the "igds_text_elements{0}" and "igds_text_elements{1}" list elements.}

 

 

When I write this feature to the dgn file using FME writer, I cannot see any multi text displayed in the file when i open it in microstation.

 

 

Please suggest how we can assign values to the Attribute list in the multi_text node (ex: "igds_text_elements{0}.igds_text_string") in this case to get the desired output.
