Hi there,

Using FME 2019.1, trying to convert GIS annotations (ArcSDE) to DWG.

This is an example of my data source in ArcGIS.

This is the final result in AutoCAD. Why am I getting those big disproportionate ugly annotations?

Is there anything I can do? TX

Part of the issue could be the font being used in the CAD drawing is not the same as the GIS.

There is an autoCAD attribute called 'autocad_font_typeface' which you could set to the same font used in the GIS file before you output top DWG.

There is a post which may also help https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/105764/is-there-a-way-to-control-the-size-of-labels-withi.html which discussed the AutoCAD text size.

Hope that helps :)
