Thanks for the Replies. After all, with the new Rhino 6 i now have a drawing-frame with included text via DocumentUserText for “author, pagecount, date, project, etc.” done.
This works fine for me, but my superior wants to use rhino in a larger scale for the construction in the future. For this i need to finde a more user friendly alternative than clicking around in the Document User Text. This will just produce errors, erased Keys, etc.
So i plan on integrating some kind of script like the previously attached. My Plan is, that first the user imports the Template drawing frame with placeholders (name=name, date=date). If the User klicks on the Block of the Frame, i want it to open a Box, or List like the ones prior in this thread, where they only can change existing values, and if they let the value empty, an automatic placeholder is set. So there is not the danger of someone “breaking” the template.
Problem is: My scripting is self taught and very limited. Is there some tutorial, or FAQ or maybe even just the code of the prior scripts which got deleted appearently, so i have a starting point?
All the ones i found until now are explanations on the rhino commands, which do not help me that far:

Best Regards, and sorry for dragging that Thread out of the deeps of the past.
