I've noticed that FME converts AutoCAD text into a point at the bottom left justification of the text even though my CAD drawing has the text justified middle center. Is there any way to adjust where FME reads the text into a point? Thank you.

Filter the text featuretypes via GeometryFilter and use an AttributeExposer to get the insertion point of the acadfeature: autocad_alignment_x, y, and z.

autocad_alignmentThen just use a VertexCreator (+LabelPointReplacer + Rotator) to replace everything to the correct coordinates, size and rotation.
