Wish: text fields in Dots

Hello! As the title says.
It would be nice to show e.g. areas, point coords etc. in Dots.
Thanks a lot!

For now you can do some of that with PetersTools:
" 1. DotWithData - Adds annotation dots to selected objects with text option of either part name, layer, real material, mass, object volume, object surface area, object note, volume centroid, area centroid, or bounding box dimension." (yes, I’m quoting myself)

The latest Rhino 8 WIP contains a test command called TestCapsuleFrame which enables drawing a dot style frame around text and leaders. The test command exists only because we haven’t incorporated this into the user interface yet.

You could create text with fields and apply this new frame style to get similar results as text dots.
