In the attached 3dm file, I have plot numbers sited in in a grid. I’ve tried, but I cannot find a method to export the content and coordinates of each text object. (I can create a point at the center of each text object and export that using export to .txt, but that excludes the text object content ie., the cell number. I can export the text objects to a .csv file, but that includes neither the contents or coordinates.)
I have several latitude / longitude survey points. Ultimately, I’d like to use those survey points to convert the x,y coordinates of each text object to latitude and longitude.
I imagine I should start with getting the text objects out of Rhino in a format readable to a gps/gis app.
(In case somebody else uses it: My machine defaults opening the py output doc in excel and excel puts the text and X coordinate separated by a blank space in the first column. First, I wrote a formula to separate it into two columns, but then realized that if I open excel and then open the py output as a text document - setting the tab delimiter to space instead of tab or comma, excel places the text in column one, the X coordinates in column 2, and the Y coordinates in column 3.)
Anyway, thanks again. I’ll be exporting like 50,000.

Hi Jeff - my thing- OpenOffice - reads it like this:
But on opening, I said to use space as the delimiter, not comma. I am separating the number and the xyz with a space and the xyz with commas - it is easy to make it any way you like.
There are several plug-ins for Grasshopper that have components to do that. A quick check on Food4Rhino returns the following: gHowl, Meerkat, Earthworm, Mosquito, Heron, Gismo, …

Hi guys,
This is realy amazing!!
is there a way to change the text in excell and import the changed text again on the same spot using the cordinates?
Thanks in advance for the answer
