AffineWarper doesn't transform text features from DWG ?

Hi list.

I'm trying to convert a DWG in a local system to UTM. I'm using AffineWarper, and has identified 5-6 control points, that seems to work.

When viewing the output in Data Inspector, all looks well, but when I output it to a new DWG, and view that in Data Inspector, it's not good at all.

All text features are either still in the local system (masquarading as UTM, i.e. at Equator), or someplace else. Only regular geometries are located correctly.

Is this a known issue, and if so, is there a work-around for this ?

Cheers.

Or at least, AffineWarper doesn't _fully_ transform text features, so they look good in FME, but reverts to their former location when output to DWG.

I've used 2020.2, but the problem is the same in 2022.0
