Change text dot's text programmatically

[laurent_delrieu]

Something that seems to work

Rhino.DocObjects.ObjRef objref = new Rhino.DocObjects.ObjRef(x);
Rhino.DocObjects.TextDotObject dotObject = objref.Object() as Rhino.DocObjects.TextDotObject;
TextDot tdot = dotObject.Geometry as TextDot;
tdot.Text = y+ tdot.Text.Substring(1, 2);
dotObject.CommitChanges();

Changing object properties in external files from plugin

Hello. If I am trying to edit the text of a TextObject in a document, I can do this: Rhino.DocObjects.ObjRef tobj = new Rhino.DocObjects.ObjRef(_id); Rhino.DocObjects.TextObject text = tobj.Object() as Rhino.DocObjects.TextObject; text.TextGeometry.Text = "hello world"; text.CommitChanges(); I’d like to do the same for a text object in an external file, but I am not finding the proper route to do so. I can create a new object in an external file with the new text, but it would be much nicer …
