DGN text/label into line

HI,

 

There are several ways on how to do that.

 

1) you can extract the bbox of each text and

 

a. extract bbox centerline

 

b.extract the 'underline' of each bbox

 

c. extract lower bbox vertices to create 'underline'

 

2) extract text insertion point and extend to calculated point (based on text properties) to create line.

 

and probably other ways too....

If you want to write text object to dgn you dont need to convert it to graphics first.

 

You can use a Labelpointreplacer on the tekstattribute to wite it to the formatstring that contains the dgn_text object.

 

 

 

Here is a picture of a dwg writer doing the same:

 

 

 

 

As you can see the attribute is directly connected to the autocad_mtext_string after the labelpointreplacer is used on this attribute.

 

This example create a textlayer in autocad.

 

 

Microstation textstring attribute is "igds_text_string" wich you can expose on the dgn writer in the format_attributes tab.
