Maybe I am missing something but how do I select text with “Get” component in grasshopper so it will run with Gplayer?

Hej Fredrik -
If it’s the Get Geometry component you are thinking about, that one doesn’t allow for annotations to be selected:
The Get String component asks for a text string to be typed when the definition is run.

Hej Wim!
Thanks for answer!
As I suspected, I was trying to make a handy tool for editing a large number of text annotations (circuit numbers) in a studio drawing. Is this something to add in the wish list?

This can most likely be done in a simple script. What are you trying to modify?
Just a faster way to edit text, I have copied a fixed text layout in a multiple groups and want to edit all the text strings to different numbers from a paper drawing. Normal text edit is a bit clumsy because it involves a lot of mouse clicks and you have to click on “ok” to end the text edit. First i tried to do it as a macro running in command mode but that didnt seem to be possible, I found that it was possible to end text edit with ctrl +enter that made it a bit faster.
Part of that is possible with text fields. But if you give an example I can be more clear to advise the best approach
Thanks Gijs! Now I already did this with the method mentioned but for future I attach a screenshot of the text groups. All those numbers where coied out to this layout with the text xxx and then I invidually changed all the numbers from a older paper drawing. I was looking for a function working; select , write, Enter to gain speed
For adding arbitrary numbers (as it appears from your screenshot) to your page, you could use layout user text. you can then change these text by changing the Value on each page:
If numbering is sequential, you can use automatic page numbering as well for your textfield:
Thanks Gijs
After some tests, I dont think Text Fields will help me.
I have tried with the GIUD hack, by feeding a GUID parameter from the GETgeometry component, this works with blocks but I cant get it to work with text… Anyone?
