Rhino 8 Grasshopper Drafting Tools - Detail View

I have been trying out the new drafting tools for Grasshopper. So far I am able to access the specific layouts, create some hatches, lines and text within those layouts, but I am having trouble accessing the detail views within the pages.

My main aim is to automate the scale text within the layout.

I know that this is done using text fields and for a text field to work you need to be able to select the detail object and access its ID. However, I have not found a way to do this with the new Rhino components.

Any help is appreciated.

Unfortunately, We haven’t yet added Details as part of the set of supported data types in GH1. It’s definitely on our roadmap and we want to get to it soon, but I’m not sure that what you want to do is currently available. I haven’t tried this particular plugin, but you may want to look into the Drafthorse plugin.
