What transformer should I use to add AutoCAD Mtext to GIS attribute table using FME?
The reader file in CAD and I want to transform it to GIS Shapefile. In this case I want to expose the attribute from text (fme_text_string) to DC_LAND_PARCEL_BOUNDARY(polygon geometry). So how to expose the attribute along with the value, so that in ArcGIS i only turn on the labeling options to show the annotation.
First add the Autocad annotation layer in ArcGIS. Open the table of this layer and write down the fields you want to have in your shapefile.
Now create a point shapefile and add the same fields. Start editing the shapefile and just copy-paste the autocad annotation in the shapefile.
The table in the shapefile should now contain the text displayed in the annotation so now you can just label the points in ArcGIS.
For arcgis the solution is to convert the Annotation to points and then Spatial join them to the parcels.
