Hi,

 

 

I'm trying to convert a DGN file with text to a DGN file with text nodes. What do I have to do?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

 

 

Try the 2DPointReplacer (renamed VertexCreator in 2014).  This should generate a point at the text insertion point.

Thanks, but this is not what I'm looking for.

My export is a DGN with Text again.

:) nice a picture pointing to ......well I found out a bit more and in FME terminology see:

 

http://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_ReadersWriters/Default.htm#igds/Text_Nodes.htm

 

My guess is that you should map and aggregate the text (igds_text) to multi text (igds_multi_text)

I assume that a textnod in DGN is like the autocad insertionpoint.?

 

Your DGN has text, then doesn't it have insertionpoints by default?

 

 

Im not savvy on Microstation as i use Autocad ( and my favorate Rhino3D...)

 

 

But on the fme site is this one:

Are you making fun of me? :)

 

 

But I'm still not getting it (very surprising)

 

Tomorrow I will try again!

 

 

Thanks so far

Not really, I really dont have a clue what text nodes mean to you :) I do have an idea, but it makes it easier to understand the problem if we all talk about the same thing.

 

 

The link Gio is proposing looks promising....

Thanks for all the help.

It helped me in the right way. I think I'm close, but still not there.

The FMEpedia was a nice help, I used example number 2, but that one is much more advanced then I need. I've just got 150 text object that needs to be converted to text nodes. I'll let you all know when I'm done.

I've done it!

 

Thanks!!
