How can I export a Shapefile's Attribute to Text Layer in CAD Using FME.
For example I have a Shapefile of Parcels and it contains a ParcelID field. Now I would like to display that field attributes as CAD Text Annotaion layer.
Thanks

First add the Autocad annotation layer in ArcGIS. Open the table of this layer and write down the fields you want to have in your shapefile.
Now create a point shapefile and add the same fields. Start editing the shapefile and just copy-paste the autocad annotation in the shapefile.
The table in the shapefile should now contain the text displayed in the annotation so now you can just label the points in ArcGIS.

Use the Labeller or LabelPointReplacer transformer. Both of those will create annotation. Then use the DWGStyler (assuming your CAD output is DWG) to assign a style, size, rotation, font, etc to the annotation.
