Hi there,

 

 

In our FME project involving parcel-label-overlaying-with-parcel-polygon operation, we needed to use the middle point of the label for the operation instead of relying on the default lower-left anchor points.  We extract from the CAD sources the middle points and build them into point features using the 2DPointReplacer before passing them to the overlay transformer, but we thought to see if there were better ways...

 

 

Thanks!

No, that's pretty much it. Do keep in mind that there might be an issue if you have very small (or narrow) parcels, the text label might not be positioned correctly, but you're already covering that with taking the middle point. Still, it might be a good idea to add a test for the number of overlaps.

Thanks for the answer.  Yes, we are checking overlaps etc.
