EleFront is an add-on that allows the user to bake geometry, annotations and blocks with user defined attributes and or Rhino attributes. Rhino objects can be referenced and filtered dynamically, to be used in Grasshopper.
First of all - thank you for the great tool! I'm using it recently a lot and it saves me probably tons hours of baking and mistakes.
--- I noticed one problem - in my case I have to prepare dimensions of everything before and as the last step - scale everything into A4 format to print it.
I'm using workflow Dimension -> Deconstruct Dimension -> Text -> input Text for same points Dimension (so is rigid)-> Scale it.
This is working fine with metric dimensions, but I have to prepare it in inches. And here is a problem - output from the Deconstruct is <empty>, but connected to the Text Input is not overwriting the text. So dimension is new (for the scaled object).
Funny thing is, that it worked a few times, but now is not working. The problem is both in Fractional and Decimal dimension style (Templates from Rhino)
I solved it by changing Value in the converter to decimal inches and use this as an input (it's working good), but fractionals are sometimes required...
I will appreciate any help! I attache screenshot as well as .gh file. Elefront is the newest Win 10, Rhino 6
