Hi everyone, maybe my question sounds kind of stupid :)
I have the following problem: about 15 days ago I -absently- exploded all the text in the most challenging drawing I have ever realized... then I kept adding new text every day until now... and now I have to change almost all the text I did type but... it's made of curves!
So I was wondering if anyone has ever had similar problems solved by a gh definition
In case no-one has ever had similar troubles (I think you all here are smarter than me :P) how would you proceed to create a similar definition, given all the text has same dimension and font?
I would:
a) create a set with all the possible character-curve in that Font
b) create an identical set with the same characters as type
c) compare this set with every given text-curve in the drawing (issue: the number 8 is made of 3 different curve .___. same as letter B... A has 2, as D, R, O, P, p and so on...)
d) list item from set 'b' using pattern I get from 'c'
e) evenctually -this is a moonshot in the moonshot- concatenate characters at 'd' based on proximity of different character-curves (to get "ABC" as a whole text, instead of "A" "B" and "C" as separate instances)
It sounds kind of challenging!
...maybe I'm better start re-writing text NOW as it could EASILY take me a couple of days to get things done... :)

Can't you just highlight all the curves and click the join command in Rhino?

...slowly getting closer :)
now it's time to look for proximity-rules to somehow join text together
