      Another request.
      How about having the text entry box remain on screen for multiple
      text entries or perhaps rt click for repeat entry box.?

            TIG,
            This is really a nice tool! I have been detailing a set of CDs in SU the past two days, and have used it alot. You asked for comments, and I have one. I am finding I have to move the tag up in the z axis 1" to make it stay visible. I wonder if the 1mm is tall enough for text height?
            Thanks for this great tool.

            Hank

              Here's v1.2 of TextTag.rb

              Dialog allows 'stand-off' of tag to be set, default=0.1"/1mm: this allows you to stand text-tags above the surface they snap to for visibility reasons...

              Cast/receive shadows can now be set: so if standoff needs to be quite large for visibility reasons and shadows need to be on the text-tag won't cast shadow onto the face behind it...

              A Proto TextTag >>. DXF exporter has been started... BUT I've stripped it out of this release as it's still too flaky - probably see next release for this...

                This is really useful, Tig. I love that the tags follow the face around when you move it, but it's not part of the face, or the compI that contains the face. CB.

                  Here's v1.3. It fixes a glitch in the TextTag Editing.

                  You could select any component as if it were a TextTag and edit it !

                  Now only lets you edit a TextTag...

                  DXF export still WIP...

                      Hi TIG

                      Great idea and thanks.
                      A vote here for a larger text entry box and how about a
                      pointer arrow too!?

                      dtr

                      Is there a way to set font to a point size so you can view in layout at different scales.

                        If you are using Layout you are better off doing your text in Layout.
                        This is a pretty old tool! Try my 2dTools 2dText - it's much more flexible than this old thing... BUT the size is fixed height - you can make it sat 100mm and then make three copies scaled at x2 and x3 use layers called TEXT-100, TEXT-200 and TEXT-300 etc. Put copies on different layers and have only one layer on in a scene-view. Then you can switch the layers as needed so text size seems to varying. 2dText is a 'component' so making layered copies means you can edit one and they'll all change across the layers and the scaling will be kept too... 🤓
