Extend Text Tag 3D for exporting?

Hi,

Currently the Text Tag 3D has no output. I have to go to the Rhino viewport, select the baked tags, explode them and then I have curves that I can export to e.g. dwg or dxf in my case.

Would it be possible to create an output for the Text Tag 3D? Because it is a really convenient component for placing text.

Also having the curves would it make easy to extrude them.

Or is there already another way to do this?

Thanks!
Fernando

Hey Fernando,

Did you solve this problem? I am trying to do exactly the same thing and am having trouble finding the solution.

Thanks!

Hi Guys, these two clusters do the 3d text and explode to curves as you asked:

3d Text : http://fabtools.blickfeld7.com/howto/Download/Text%203D%20Advanced....

Text Contour: http://fabtools.blickfeld7.com/howto/Download/Text%20Contour.ghuser...

You can Bake the 3dText in groups and export them to DWG as "text". But the text contour converts text into curves and can also be exported as DWG/DXF.

Hope this helps.

Cheers FF
