ROAD, STREET, BUILDING NAMES DOES'NT APPEAR.

[Jack Ling]

Hi,


I've followed advices to use FORCE TRUE...etc....I am trying to compare with
and understand from some of you guys working code... have yet to get it
done. My knowledge is still far from there, although I've played around
quite a number of possibilities.

Delfos, I'm interested to know how to open DGN as annotation layer? (In
fact, I'm confused labelled text attributes with annotations) I think your
suggestion can lead me to solve the problem. In essence, what to put for the
LABELITEM? In my case, as output from OGRInfo, I assume it is called "Text"
attribute. I could be wrong.

I don't see error in the web server (apache)'s log.
