I have an asbuilt with a table that has all the locations/names of  the structures.   The table layer name  is “text” and when i bring in  the drawing, the text layer is empty. Im sure its how i have my parameters set up so a little guidance on how to read this would be great.

Hi @pearly1,

The table is stored in the DWG file as an OLE link to an Excel file. FME cannot currently read OLE linkages in DWG files, but if you have the linked Excel file, FME can read from that table directly.
