.MEA Files

Currently we are transitioning to PCDMIS 2023 from 2017R2. Issue I'm running into is with our data. We use the MEA file for our templates, and the GD&T is not dumping the data into it now. 

Attached are some photos of the MEA Files and part of the code containing the flatness callout, one ran in 2017 and the other in 2023. The "Flat1" is no longer showing up. 

Seems to be affecting all GDT Callouts, just used this one as an example since it was simple. This is an old program; we ran the migration tool on it provided by hexagon.
