- Select the string in any text editor that support drag + drop (I'm using Google Chrome to view this webpage and it works from there, you can also drag from and to the Rhino Notes panel) - Start dragging from inside the selection, your mouse cursor will now change indicating a Drag+Drop procedure has started. - While dragging, place the mouse over the Rhino task bar button, this will pop up the Rhino window - Assuming that the Grasshopper window is visible, drop the text onto the canvas, et voila
This is how drag+drop in Grasshopper always works. If you drag a component of a grasshopper tab-panel and dump it into -say- Notepad, you'll see a similar string. You can always drag this string back into grasshopper to instantiate a new component on the canvas. There's a bunch of components in Grasshopper that are not visible on the toolbars. Usually because they have been replaced by a newer version which has more inputs/outputs. I cannot just alter existing components, because that would break file reading/writing. So instead I have to hide the old one and add a new one with a different ID (but a similar icon). And then there's a few which are known to be buggy and which are therefore not exposed. 3DTextTag is one of these. -- David Rutten Robert McNeel & Associates On Oct 9, 1:06 am, Rchitekt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi David, > I was curious as to how I could drag and drop the text file you > mentioned above.
