Basically, can anyone tell me the format of this value. For example if I want the reference scale to be 1:800?

Hello @andypcatbcc

If you take a look at the following link: http://docs.safe.com/fme/2017.1/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_ReadersWriters/geodatabase/Configuration_Parameters.htm

 

There is a section about 3/4 down the webpage, that lists the 'GEODB_ANNO_REFERENCE_SCALE'. I believe this is the format attribute you are looking for, in order to set the Annotation's reference scale.

Tested my way to the same conclusion, but by trying a value set on the writer. This now leads my to another question. If I set a GEODB_ANNO_REFERENCE_SCALE variable on each feature, could I create several versions of the same annotation (with different scaling of the text) with different reference scales (in the same way you can use geodb_operation as INSERT, DELETE, or UPDATE to perform the appropriate action per feature)?
