Hi Martin, I should be able to make the dimension text work better but it's pretty uncertain if exporting the dimensions to other formats like AI/PDF will make it into v4. I would not be surprised if it will take a few rounds of work on it to get all the different pieces around it working and some things like that might not make it in until v5.

Hi Michael, thankyou that is good to know. I would be happy if all letter holes would get their own style so they can be filled all at once in Affinity Designer for example. But I don't know if it is straightforward for you to detect text curves that are completely enclosed by another text curve.

Hi Martin, there isn't really any way currently in MoI to identify text curves. But it should be possible once there is an actual annotation text entity supported. So that will be the first step. It will probably take a few steps in annotation functionality before this can be implemented, until then I would recommend adding your text inside Affinity Designer instead of in MoI.

I assumed that the text generated by the Dimension tool will be curve text and therefore made a script that styles letterholes so they can be filled in one step after PDF or AI export. The script can be found here:

Hi Martin, probably the text generated by the Dimension tool will be it's own new kind of object, it won't just be regular curves.
