Hi Ryan,
Firstly, make sure you have the latest up-to-date Smallworld FME
Interface. I believe there was a problem with the earlier ones
regarding a loss of rotation in all features. Unfortunately I can't
remember the 'build' or patch number or whatever it is GE call it.
Next. Well the examples I have seen apply to text that relates to a
particular feature - ie is a label such as road name.
In that case then you should aggregate the text and feature together.
Send it to the writer with list attributes - the text rotation will be
sworld_geometry{1}.sworld_orientation.
Alternatively you can set sworld_orientation on your text feature then
when you aggregate it with the other feature enter 'sworld_geometry'
into the list name setting. If it is solely a text feature then this
has the best chance of working I think.
If you're still having problems then write to us at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and we can send you a couple of example workspaces that may help.
Regards,
Mark
