Hi pascal,
The script was to convert text to dot and place the dot at the insertion point of the text. One of the earlier scripts worked correctly in Rhino 5, but not in the Rhino 6 WIP. The dots were not located at the text insertion point in the WIP.

I posted this comment soon after that script was posted; “In the WIP the dots are not created at the insertion point. They are bang on in Rhino 5.”

Hi Bill, of course: import Rhino import scriptcontext import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs def TextToDot(): ids = rs.GetObjects("Select text objects", 512, True, True, False) if not ids: return for text_obj in [rs.coercerhinoobject(id, True, True) for id in ids]: if isinstance(text_obj, Rhino.DocObjects.TextObject): text = text_obj.TextGeometry.Text rs.AddTextDot(text, text_obj.TextGeometry.Plane.Origin) rs.DeleteObject(text_obj) if…

• I made two points.
• I added text snapping to each point - one justified left, and one center.
• Running the script on each puts the dot on the point.
  Is that what you expect?
