ROAD, STREET, BUILDING NAMES DOES'NT APPEAR.

[Jack Ling]

Hi,

Thanks for highlighting the error. I've changed accordingly. But I still see
nothing for the label. I can't figure out what else needs to be amended.
I've tried different parameters but failed. To the minimum, what's missing
in the following portion?
I have the sans font properly put at the right place

Since DGN file has just one layer, I assume I only needs to deal with one
layer here?

Below is the portion of the code for the layer.



LAYER
NAME dgn
TYPE LINE
STATUS DEFAULT
CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
CONNECTION "11sw9d.dgn,0"
STYLEITEM "AUTO"

LABELITEM "Text"

CLASS
NAME "USA"
OUTLINECOLOR 60 60 60
SYMBOL 0

LABEL
COLOR 255 255 255
SHADOWCOLOR 218 218 218
SHADOWSIZE 2 2
TYPE TRUETYPE
FONT sans
SIZE 12
ANTIALIAS TRUE
POSITION CL
PARTIALS FALSE
MINDISTANCE 300
BUFFER 4
END # end of label
END

END # Layer
