Message 6 of 7. Some advantages of Text over one-line Mtext that I'm aware of: It takes less memory for the same content.
MText and Text features or entities as seen in AutoCAD Each simple text feature can only contain a single line whereas the MText feature includes all three lines. Text is simple, single line text features with few properties.
There are several things we can do with simple text in AutoCAD such as move, scale, rotate and stretch our words, however, we are somewhat limited in terms of style and each new line of text becomes a new feature. Simple text would not be used for writing larger blocks of text. MText features provide extra functionality, they can contain multiple lines of text and they have the ability to contain several different fonts and styles within the same feature.
This point is determined by the text insertion point. When reading text features from DWG, the most popular text properties such as, size height , rotation and string contents are copied and converted to FME format attributes.
For more about AutoCAD format attributes here. E xample 1 reads in the Roads feature type from our geodatabase, uses the Labeller to create two line labels from StreetId and StreetName. Inspectors are placed just prior to the writer. Zoom into one of the road labels and you will notice that the labels are displayed as two lines of text that are stored as a single text feature.
You will notice that the two lines of text have been split out and written as two separate text entities. We can also verify that the text is also now oblique. Formatting options include the ability to have multiple lines, multiple fonts, text wrapping, and bullet points, all within a single feature. When adding a DWG reader to a workspace and even when viewing features in the FME Data Inspector it is always important to check the reader parameters, this is especially true when working with MText entities.
When reading MText entities with FME, a user can choose to either explode their MText features into individual text entities similar to exploding blocks which is covered in this article , or keep the MText feature as one.
This option can be found in the reader parameters in the Entity Options section see below. Choosing to explode your MText entities will split out each of the lines of text into separate text entities this is the default. If you want to keep your MText as a single entity be sure to uncheck this box. When an unexploded MText feature is read into FME it is treated similarly to a simple text feature, however, in order to preserve the richer formatting, additional format attributes are created.
This format attribute carries the formatting code used by AutoCAD. This is because the text is wrapped in AutoCAD. This is handy if you want to edit certain parts and then aggregate them back together. Exploded vs unexploded MText in the FME Data Inspector: The green text has been exploded by the reader and each of the three lines from the MText entity are now treated as three individual features. Example 2 shows this with a basic workspace.
Example 2 performs a similar transformation to Example 1, however, this time our text will be written out as MText entities. In this example I have left the Text Size, Rotation and Text fields empty because the Labeller has already done this part for us. It's easy to join and it's free.

I read somewhere that "DTEXT allows you to add text to a drawing and see the text as it is being placed", I don't quite understand what "add text to a drawing" mean.
If possible, please explain in detail : any answer will be appreciated.
