Hi Mark,
I've looked but the geodb_text_char_spacing is not available as an exposable attribute (in build 1378). I'd expect it somewhere between geodb_text_break_char and geodb_text_clip. Is there any other way to expose this attribute than through the Expose Attributes context menu?

The Readers and Writers manual usually gives this information, but this format attribute doesn't seem to be there. I'll file a request to get it added.

Some Annotations have special characters to designate deviant character spacings. For example: the character � means the characters should be double spaced. pGdb Annotation has a field called CharacterSpacing that can be used to change character spacing. However, it's not listed in the geodb_* format attributes. I tried to access the CharacterSpacing field as a user attribute, but that doesn't work. Is there any work-around to fill this field? So far I've only come up with a solution where I create my own custom field, fill it with neccessary values using the workbench I've created, then go into ArcMap, and populate the CharacterSpacing field with the values of my custom field. This seems sort of a clumsy way to do things. Any suggestions? regards, Marc Get the maximum benefit from your FME, FME Objects, or SpatialDirect via our Professional Services team.
