Hi Eryne, It should be that FME would automatically convert the text items into point features in your Shape dataset. No need for transformers. At least I hope this is what it would do. Let me check...
...yes that's what happens. FME writes IGDS text features to a point geometry in Shape. And as a bonus it also puts the text into a field called TEXTSTRING in the output Shape. The only issue then is if you want to rename the attribute (just open the destination settings dialog, click the user attributes tab and double-click TEXTSTRING to rename it). Hope this helps.
