Comment by Kristjan on April 20, 2012 at 9:15am: Thanks it is a good list, but unfortunately it seems that it needs the value passed in lowercase - but there is a tool for that, so it's working good.

Comment by Ivor Ip on April 20, 2012 at 8:05am: Here's a key list for the Generic OSM component.

Comment by Timothy Logan on February 21, 2012 at 11:08am: I originally made this for a specific project without any thoughts to releasing it, and for that particular project it made more sense to specify the size that I wanted since I was fitting it onto a sheet of glass. It was just easier to input the size I wanted than to determine what the scaling factor needed to be.

Comment by Danny Boyes on February 21, 2012 at 10:30am: Great Plug-in!

The Scale factor would be more useful to me if you could scale by 0.001 rather than working out the size to fit into. Or am I missing the point

Comment by Benjamin Golder on January 30, 2012 at 8:38pm: Wow! I just noticed this. What an awesome plugin. I plan to use this a ton. Thank you!

Comment by Martin Dembski on January 24, 2012 at 7:53pm: Thanks for this powerfull plug-in.

I'm looking forward how it will be developed in the future.
