Hi,
I am currently trying to archive information out of old DWG files in my company. But so far I am still rather uncertain with how I open the DWG files in FME in a way, that I can access the labels within the DWG file and write them into another file format.
I found a lot of tutorials with how to write into DWG, but nothing much the other way around.
Can someone help or point me in the right direction?
You can set up a DWG reader and have it group by Geometry Type (via the parameters), then you can simply only select the texts.
Then adding a JSON or XML writer should, in principle, do the trick.

Thank you for your answer.
Okay, I did that and I have the texts now, but when I write it, I get all the meta information in the XML, but not the actual content of the text.
This is what the text layer looks like in inspection.
But this is the write output.
And what I want is the actual text. So like the MB07+MB09 and so on.

The text string is stored in an attribute called fme_text_string, which is hidden by default, you can use an AttributeExposer to make it visible (also make sure to add it to the output feature type)
