Hi @ferdinand , Yes, I do need the dimension overlay to coexist with another active tool. The plugin is mainly intended to help adjust objects to realistic dimensions and proportions. When precise dimensions are not required, the overlay helps me quickly resize and place objects in the scene. Once that is done, I can turn off the dimension overlay. The plugin can be enabled or disabled directly and includes some settings, with usage similar to the Symmetry tool. Inactive objects do not display dimension information, and grouped objects are measured as a whole, so the viewport does not become a sea of dimension annotations . Cheers, Anlv

Hey @Anlv, Thank you for reaching out to us and reporting this. I just changed it so that the path is always a raw string. This will be shipped with an upcoming (but not the next) public release. Cheers, Ferdinand I.e., your script will then be as follows where there is an r in front of the string, which should fix the issue on Windows. plugins.ReloadPythonPlugin( path = r"C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Maxon\Maxon Cinema 4D 2026_XXXXXXXX\plugins\PluginName\PluginName.pyp", reloadDocumentAfterReload=False, reloadOnlyActiveDocument=False )

@ferdinand Thanks for the encouragement, much appreciated!

Your approach is not necessarily worse, one could even argue that it is better. I personally would always avoid manually binding to an OS DLL via ctypes, but that is more a personal preference.
