Have there been changes in the way the coordinates work between FME version 2018 and 2020? I am using Smallworld 5.1 6 and upgrading FME to 2020 and noticed that the Text is translating at a different scale then FME 2018 using the same FMW file.

I am translating from Smallworld using coordinate system AZ83-C to MicroStation V8i coordinate system AZ83-CF. text size should be 8 but is scaling up to 26. it works fine when using FME 2018..

Hi @robyn_studts, would you be able to share some visuals to the difference you are seeing? By text size do you mean that the coordinate points have been misplaced due to the text size?

Thank you Jenna for responding to my question, I will attempt to give you the information that you are requestion.

I created a simplistic FMW file using the Cambridge 5.1.6. database for this example.

If I run the translation using FME 2018 everything translates at the sizes that are expected.

If I run the same translation using FME 2020 The point feature is the same size however the Text is different.

Below I referenced the 2020 dgn into the 2018 dgn and you can see the difference.

In our database I am having a bit different issue with the text where the 2020 versions are translating smaller.
