      Here's v2.0 http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=284829#p284829
      Inputbox code improved.
      Field-Separator corrected to ,/; for ./, decimal-points
      LatLong now has variable dp, like XYZ values
      'Text2Tag' now has option to keep original text as 'Prefix='
      'Prefix' option also added to the 'Add' dialog and for Import-CSV [as optional 4th column]
      Also Export-CSV has option to make its 1st column [#] as 'Prefix='
      New Message-boxes now tell you when Import and Export are completed.
      Manually editing a Tag does not change its contents [as before]... unless the new text ends with "=", then it's taken as a new Prefix for that Tag - so if it reads "1.2, 3.4, 5.6" OR even already has a Prefix like "#ptM=1.2, 3.4, 5.6" then typing in ptQ= will change it to "#ptQ=1.2, 3.4, 5.6" - this is quick way to add point-reference Prefixes to existing Tags, without you having to turn them into plain-text, add the prefix text and finally turn then back into Tags! The Prefix= text is useful in identifying points that have been exported to CSV when the optional extra 1st column is chosen...

        Thanks for the prompt response.

        Does V2.0 include the option for the +/- decimal format of the lat/long please, which is the standard displayed on Google Earth and used in KML?

        Any chances on the heading/tilt/roll options please? If not are you able to offer any Ruby tips to allow me to implement something please? It would hugely simplify animation coding.

          Is that the format used in your briefly edited version ?
          If so, and we can agree a correct way forward, I could probably include something in v2.1 'tomorrow'... ๐Ÿ˜•

          As for the pitch/roll/yaw camera issue perhaps this deserves a separate thread ?
          Feel free to PM me about it before we all jump into some frantic [re]coding... ๐Ÿค“

            Yes, I fully coded and tested the +/- option which was in the one I submitted. KML requires that format.

                    I have not read all questions and replies, so my questions could already have been answered
                    could it be possible to have these coordinates correspond with real earth coordinates?
                    could there be a possibility to switch between drawing (design)coordinates and their exact position on earth?

                          Does this mean you now see how to do it?
                          You can set the datum in Long/Lat to whatever you like - typically replicated from the SKP's geo-location data.
                          You can then update any pre-exisitng tags to use the new schema: all new tags will have the latest settings too...

                            Nice Job

                            I only played about 20 minutes with this, so I may seem naive (I am) to some of the capabilities of this Ruby. I've read the preamble several times, but some of it does not seem to jive with the dialog boxes.

                            All my drawings use the green axis as my "X" axis, red="Z" and blue="Y".
                            You, and I expect most everyone else, uses Red, Blue, Green as XYZ.
                            This puts the value I need most in the middle of the text string, rather than first as I am used to.
                            Short of turning ALL my drawings 90 deg, which will screw me up a lot (mainly with the comp axis orientations); is there any way of flipping the Red/Green orientation?

                            Is there a way to show ONLY the X axis (or Y) in the tag, and not the Y or Z values?

                            Is there a way to label each tag as it is created, perhaps by simply typing to the VCB the label? Your CofG Ruby picks up the component name. Perhaps you could label the coord tag with that comp name, IF a point on the comp is tagged.

                            There's more, but later. I need to play a lot more.

                              If you want just X&Y to be displayed then I suggest you set Z to 'None' ?
                              You need to mess around with the tool to find the settings that best suit your needs... ๐Ÿ˜„

                                  I got the "none" to work (small yea) ๐Ÿ‘ but there seems to be a problem with "add coord tag by dialog" dialog.

                                  When I select it, the d-box appears, but no matter what I change, it will not go away when I hit OK. It just comes back in default. Only CANCEL gets rid of it. ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

                                  What am I doing wrong??

                                    It is meant to reappear after you press OK [and it has added the coord-tag that you have just specified], this 'auto-rerun' is to let you enter multiple coords without having to reactivate the tool each time.
                                    When you are done press Cancel it stops appearing...
                                    I haven't bothered rereading the instructions but I'm pretty sure this is explained in there ๐Ÿ˜•

                                      But it doesn't seem to do anything in the model.

                                      Where's the tag going each time. I've tried to select a coord but nothing happens there as well.

                                        It's being put at the XYZ you specify.
                                        I just tried it and it works.
                                        BUT remember that it is taking the units you have specified in the tool's settings - so if you have 'm' set as the units and you typed into the dialog 1231/1234/0 it'll appear over a kilometer away in the NE quadrant ! The current units are shown in the dialog's header...
                                        Try zoom-extents to see what you have done ๐Ÿ˜ฒ

                                          Now it works. ๐Ÿ‘ I had X,Y & Z at 0.0 but the origin was not in view.

                                          What does Cpoint do? I saw no difference yes or no.

                                            If you have 'guides' set to be displayed you should see a new cpoint [guide-point] added at the specified coord...
