Question

I am updating from FME 2014 to 2021 and have a question. I am translating from Smallworld 5.1.6 to MicroStation V8i and I am having problems with the text scaling.

Translating using 2014 igds_text sixe 8 translates to Height and width 0.08 however translating using 2021 using the same parameters it translates to 0.00 and if it is a multi line text with 3 lines of text it translates to 0.03.

 

I did try other scaling sizes even up to 20 and the results were the same.

 

Please advise

 

 Since I need to do an upgrade and don't want to have to redo all of my text items I installed and tested FME 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020.. It appears that the text change happened in release 2020. I can use the same FMW file that I created using 2014 and it works fine for 2017, and 2018.. I did have a glitch using 2019 but once it ran the data was correct. Starting in 2020 the text sizes were all messed up. I am hoping someone can advise me on what may have happened.

Oh no I am also having the same issue! We are just now upgrading from 2014 to 2020. In my 2014 workbench my output DGN text was all the same size, but when I bring it over to the 2020 workbench the different levels are writing to different sizes. Were you ever able to resolve your issue? I tried exposing the fme_text_size and overriding the idgs text size but it there was no effect.
