3D Text Labels from CSV file

[dragos]

Hi,
I have a CSV file with 4 columns:

X, Y, Z, ID

which contains several point coordinates (x,y,z) plus the point ID. I would like to use the information from the CSV file to print 3D Text labels at the corresponding point locations.

I have bumped into this thread:

Point labels available with PV 5.7?

A couple of months ago I was discussing with customers for the first time about a possible “point labels” feature. The idea is to have text labels “attached” to the points of a dataset, like it is possible to attach glyphs, but “2d” of course so they are always readable. I was told that there is a chance that such a feature would be somehow realized in version 5.7 - and now I wonder if it is the case, and if yes: where is it? So far I could not find it in the RC2!

but I feel a simple and more elegant solution might be possible.

Any thoughts on this one?

Thanks,
Dragos

The simplest way would be to use TableToPoints and then select the point and display the ID for the selection.
