I have 6 ESRI geodatabases that I want to merge into one geodatabase, and also change the data to be in EPSG 25832. I am adding each geodatabase to its own feature dataset within the output geodatabase as each geodatabase contains a different type of data.

Everything works as expected, except the conversion of annotations. I get the error:

An error occurred while attempting to set the 'Font' property on the 'ITextSymbol' interface for the annotation feature class 'N250_Navn'. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147024809'. The error message from ArcObjects is: {No spatial reference exists.}

The input data has a spatial reference, and I have asked the output to be in EPSG 25832. So I dont understand why it fails converting these annotations with this error.

I also get a warning:

|An annotation feature headed for the feature class 'N250_Navn' specified a value of '473' for 'geodb_symbol_id'. '473' is an invalid value for the SymbolID. The feature (and any other with the same SymbolID) may use an inline symbol

How to I get round this error and warning?

I think you should log a case through safe.com/support and include a sample dataset and your workspace. Then we can take a look at what is going wrong with your annotation.

If it's an ArcSDE database, dump some of the sample data to a File GDB. Export the destination schema as a Esri XML workspace document (schema only)

I struggled with annotation layers as well and for a work around had to convert the text to lines and then use the labelling functions in arc with the line set to transparent. Not ideal, but a temporary work around if you are looking for one.

Hi Mark. Thanks for the response. I will do that when I get a free moment. I will include a sample dataset. The data is actually freely available to download from Kartverket (its all the N series datasets that are downloadable in FileGDB format) - for example this one http://data.kartverket.no/download/content/n250-kartdata-utm33-hele-landet-fgdb
