No; we need to investigate creating new user interface for creating and editing text. This is not a Rhino 8 project.

that is ok if that would be in v9, but i am really hoping that this will be cleaned up, so in that case yes but no for v8? [image] Steve Baer: we need to investigate creating new user interface for creating and editing text this portion sounds very nice i am just hoping that i can celebrate …

oh wow, please do share some tips! i’m finally now trying to streamline my workflow and left AUTO-CAD a years ago for Rhino. I still haven’t figured out all of what it can do, as it’s endless but i’m interested to hear the general tips shared if you’re getting better value per hour than with revit. …
