ESRI FileGeoDatabase to FileGeoDatabase Annontation while preserving Font Size using FME

I have annotation features in one FileGeoDatabase and I translate them to another FileGeoDatabase using FME. However, it does not maintain the font size. I think it has to do with the relationship of text size and symbol ID in the FileGeoDatabase. But I cannot maintain the font size of the annotation whatever FME format attributes I use in the writer.

Hello @gidolangen,

 

 

Just to follow up, I believe you solved this by using the LabelPointReplacer. You might also be able to write the value using the geodb_text_size format attribute on the writer. Although, I believe this will take into account the reference scale as well and as a result could produce different text sizes between source and destination.

 

 

Another article that may help is the following: https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/520/setting-font-size-explicitly-in-geodatabase-annota.html

 

 

I hope that helps!
