Hey there

I want to make a text engrave in grasshopper, then I use  
“Dynamic Geometry Pipeline” -  
“Text Object Info”  
, but then “Text 3D Advanced” doesn’t work, in order to get the “TextEntity output”.

 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/mcneel/uploads/default/original/4X/7/c/f/7cfb0655c56085f9db1ec760f79543fdb02329cb.png)

below is the error message from the “Text 3D Advanced”,

1. Warning (CS0618): ‘Rhino.Geometry.AnnotationBase.Text’ is obsolete: ‘Use RichText or PlainText’ (line 88)

2. Warning (CS0618): ‘Rhino.Geometry.AnnotationBase.FontIndex’ is obsolete: ‘Use Font property instead’ (line 92)

3. Warning (CS0618): ‘Rhino.RhinoDoc.Fonts’ is obsolete: ‘Use DimStyles table instead’ (line 92)

4. Error (CS1061): ‘Rhino.Geometry.TextEntity’ does not contain a definition for ‘AnnotativeScalingEnabled’ and no extension method ‘AnnotativeScalingEnabled’ accepting a first argument of type ‘Rhino.Geometry.TextEntity’ could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) (line 94)

but somehow, “JustifiedText 3D” component below (green one selected) works just fine, but it only provides preview, instead of bake,

Please help a brother out​:hushed:😯😥😥😥😥.

Thank you!

Grasshopper 1 in the Rhino 8 WIP has many new native Rhino data types including one for Text Entities. [You can find out more here](https://discourse.mcneel.com/t/rhino-8-feature-annotations-and-hatches-in-gh1/152494).
