Horseter has a [ReadTxt] component you can see an example of it here. http://www.grasshopper3d.com/forum/topics/combine-different-data-li...

Or Human has an alternative http://www.grasshopper3d.com/group/human

Hi ryr,

As Danny stated upper solutions with Horster and Human is definitively the way to go.

I am not sure how would you do that in GH Python.

But in plain Python editor you could use the "rhinoscriptsyntax.TextDotPoint" function:

import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs

id = rs.GetObject("Select text dot")
if rs.IsTextDot(id):
    textCoord = rs.TextDotPoint(id)
    print textCoord
else:
    print "you did not select an appropriate object"
