Converting text to geometry when performing a 2d view export

[haroon.haider39ZXL]

We have been able to get access to the lines, grids, annotations and other basic elements of a 2d view (using the  IExportContext2D interface).  Is there a way to convert the annotation text from strings to geometry using Revit API similar to how you can do it in AutoCAD ? 

I'm looking to get something like the attached image.

You could take recourse to a pixel image, if all else fails...

Update: I ended up getting what I need by processing a TextNode from the export context method OnText() call.  There is enough information in the text node class to be able to convert it to a GraphicsPath and pull out the geometry from there.

Thank you for confirming! I added your note of your solution to the blog:

Hi @haroon.haider39ZXL 

Can you please elaborate how you have converted TextNode to GraphicsPath, I want to export the text geometry and I want to extract text path points.
