Hello,
when I use a clipping plane to generate a 2D drawing on a brep, the lines inherit the brep’s user text. If I place the brep inside a block, it inherits nothing. Is it possible to inherit the block’s user text?
Hi Vojtěch -
In Rhino 9, user text on objects inside blocks is carried over to the geometry in the clipping drawing.

Hi, thank you for a quick response.
Sadly, that won’t do for me. I want to use nested blocks to represent assemblies.
I want to attach a leader to the 2D drawing and get some of the top level object’s attributes.
I’ve just tried placing the leader onto the model. But this way, I can only produce raster drawings.
Does RH WIP expose clipping plane to 2D drawing transform? That way, I could define leaders attached to top level geometry and then copy them to the 2D drawing.
Example of vector drawing output.
Hi Vojtěch -
Yes, that doesn’t work.
This is on the list as RH-57021 TextField: Retrieve attributes from a block definition
If you put the viewport in a technical display mode, you should be able to use vector.
It exposes the source object ID of the geometry in the 2D drawing. If you are thinking of scripting something to produce those leaders, that would probably be the way.
