I am taking a feature from a Sequel database and loading it through FME to spit out text into an access database to display in GeoMedia.

 

 

I have these three attributes defined to have the text orientation the exact way I want them to come out.

 

LabelRotation

 

LabelOffsetX

 

LabelOffsetY

 

 

My first attempt was to pass it through the Labeller but that transformer only allows for one Label Offset attribute to be chosen.  How do I encorporate all three attributes so the Text comes out correctly?

Hi,

 

 

If you have created a point whose coordinate matches to the offset location, you can use the TextAdder to create the text with proper rotation angle.

Do you not just write the text and the three attributes to acces?

 

Those attributes are used byt the GIS application to properly place the labels.

 

 

 

It seems to me that you dont need to "physically" have to offset and rotate textobjects (or textinsertionpoint) using fme. They are to become labels, not actual geo-objects (i assume).
