Hi Mark,

Switching  the library to MITAB.dll did the trick!

Thanks for your help

RE: [fme] Mapinfo text moved when rotated > 270 degrees






Hi Jenny,
As SRG noted there are differences between how DGN and TAB hold text that  cause some difficulty; for example justification in  IGDS means the origin point of the text whereas in MapInfo it is a more  traditional definition of justification (ie left, centre or right) within the  text bounding box.
 
For any text problem with TAB there are a number of options you can  try...
 
Our MapInfo TAB writer uses a library from MapInfo (MFAL). Sometimes this  makes mistakes in text placement when the coordinate system is not set. If you  can make sure the coordinate system is set this may help.
 
We have a second MapInfo TAB writer library of our own development (MITAB) -  it does not have the same text  placement problems. You can switch to the  alternate library by renaming mitab.dll to mapinfo.dll (I'd suggest making a  backup copy of any existing mapinfo.dll).
 
Write to MIF/MID instead - this does not have the same  problem.

 
I'd also suggest  using a newer build - build 628 is fairly old now and it is unlikely we'd be  able to do much to support it.
 
I hope something  here helps to solve your problem; if not and you have a valid AMC you  should send it to us via [EMAIL PROTECTED] (including a copy of your data and any  workspace plus screenshots if possible) and we will check if there is a bug that  needs fixing.
 
Regards,
 
Mark

Subject: [fme]  Mapinfo text moved when rotated > 270 degrees


Hi,

I have projects that translate fr�n dgn or shp  toMapinfo  tab. When I have textobject (streetnames) that are rotated  more than 270 degrees the entire text is moved .  Y is the same but x is  wrong it is moved west. The rotation angle is correct.
I use labelpointreplacer when I run it with shape but  with microsoft dgn files it is pretty straight forward. Even if I strip my  workspaces so I don�t use any transformers, the problem remains.  
All my other streetnames are correct.  

 I have used 2002 SR-1 build 628,   20040512 build 1314 and Ice3 but I get the same result.  

Really hope you guys have some useful  tips for me.

/Jenny
