AutoCAD 2010 :: Hatching Conflicts With Multileaders?
Nov 28, 2011
Running ACad 2012 SP1 on Win 7/64 bit.
NVidia GEForce GTX 465 video card
Attempting to hatch (walls, in this case). This screenshot is just after I enter the Hatch command...... And this is what happens when I click inside the wall to be hatched. This is the exact same sceen, one mouse click later:
... This seems to be my green text somehow suddenly expanding in size. This then prevents the hatch from being properly applied. THe green text is all annotative, seems to be MLeader, and also happens when I have an MLeader with a block / attirbute (ie, in the first image I have a "W6" block in a diamond multileader.
To avoid this I have been usind Layiso / Layuniso but this takes time & doesn't automatically 'cut out' the hatch if there is text in the way.

Is there a way to select multiple multileaders and change the text to the same thing in all of them? (Like a block with attributes, where you can simply change the attribute in the properties box).
This would save so much time instead of going to each one of them, double click, edit text, "tab", "enter"...

Why are Multileaders with Annotative Blocks not possible?

Are multileaders in 2011 not associative? I had to move a group of equipment off of a bulkhead to allow for insulation I did not know was there and when I went back to my layout, I had to reattach every arrowhead to its respective piece of equipment.

I am in no way an expert in ACAD.We are experiencing "random" problems where we have a multileader with left justified text and the leader extension option turned on. There is probable a common trait with all the offending leaders but we are yet to see it.
Basically, with some leaders, the landing length is being set to a negative value. We have only noticed this since we turned on the extend leader to text option. The result of this is that the leader lines can sometimes cross through the text. Sometimes we fix them, then they revert to a negative value again when we close the drawing.
We can, of course, uncheck the extension option in the drawing and the problem appears to go away. However, we have unchecked this option in our templates now, but when we open a new drawing based on the updated templates, the option is checked again.

I have some mulitleaders in paperspace that lost their associativity with objects in model space. _dimreassociate will work with to reattach a leader arrowhead to a model object but the command doesn't work with multileaders. Is there another way to do this or do I have to redraw the multileaders?

So I just recieved drawings from a contractor and they placed all the multileaders and details on the paper space but when I go to change the model space things are no longer pointing at the right spot.
What I am trying to do is copy them into model space but.... when I use crtl-c from paper, crtl-v to model it doesn't scale properly.

So i'm trying to place a solid hatch inside a circle. AutoCAD seems to ask all the questions but then doesn't add the hatching. I tried ansi31 hatching and there is no difference. Current layer is on, color that should be seen.

I've noticed when I try to hatch something it will regen model every time after I select boundaries.
Below is from command line. How can I turn it off?
Command: BH HATCH
Pick internal point or [Select objects/seTtings]: S
Select objects or [picK internal point/seTtings]:Regenerating model.
Regenerating model.

Never had this issue when running past versions of Autocad but every time i try and hatch using 'pick internal points' the program crashes. "FATAL ERROR - Out of memory - shutting down" message comes up every time. Hatching by selecting an object works fine but most of time this option is unusable.

I am working with Autocad 2011 and I have a problem with the geometry display. The block I created was a dynamic block of a concrete nail we use in surveying. The circle is created with two lines crisscrossing each other so as to create 4 quadrants within it. I also created it with visibility states and a lookup parameter for scaling to the appropriate size according to the drawing scale. The visibility state is for "Found state" and a "Placed state". For the found state 2 of the 4 quadrants are filled in(using a hatch pattern) and for the placed state all 4 quadrants are cleared. What is happening is the hatch pattern is changing to different quadrants of the circle depending on what scale you chose from the lookup scale list.

My AutoCAD 2012 freezes almost evertime when I do hatching. It doesnt matter the size of the drawing nor the type of hatch i use. It freezes while I try to pick boundary points. When it freezes, I cant even move the curser. I need to restart it from the hub.
What could be the issue? Whats spec on my computer do I need maybe?
Also with the Recovery Management, it takes like forever to try and recover a drawing.

i have a bunch of pipes we surveyed in the field, the linework code we were using was p01 B 10"
the "B" being "begin"
my description key set is set up as follows:
p## = Code
and
Ex Pipe $1= format
the trouble is, this works nicely for all of the inbetween shots, but for shots containing "B" and "E" it uses the B for the $1 instead of the desired 10" pipe size. How do I prevent this from happening?
We were origially using the code B p01 10" but the description keys were geting hung up on the B and not sorting the point to the desired layer.
what is the best method for coding in the field? and how do I get the 10" to show up in the label instead of the B and E

I have installed in my PC (Windows XP home) Photoshop CS3 normal version, and I'm interested in upgrading to CS3 Extended.
I would like to install the trial version, but I'm afraid the two programs will conflict, even if I don't run them together.
I can install the CS3 Extended trial version in an external Hard dusk,

I have a Calcomp DrawingBoard III (12x 12) digitizer running on Windows XP Service Pack #3. The digitizer wintab driver conflicts with Photoshop CS4, preventing it from opening. When I start Photoshop it partially opens and then the computer locks up. But, if the computer boots up without the wintab driver loading, Photoshop starts and runs properly.

I opened a drawing today and the text in the multileaders is 10x's too large as you can see in the attached screenshot of construction keynotes.
It was fine when I closed it yesterday and I was the last person to open the drawing.
Multileaders in both model and paper space are affected.
I've tried:Running an Audit and fixing errors (no change).Changing the annotative scale of the drawing - this does scale the multileaders, however the text is still 10x's too large.Adding annotative scales to the Object Scale List of the multileaders (no change).Changing settings like DIMSCALE, CANNOSCALE, LTSCALE (no change).
I suspect this is a random error without a fix and I'm going to have to delete all the multileaders, purge the drawing, and redraft the multileaders, or do what I did before annotative multileaders: use dynamic blocks I created for making callout notes.

there is a way I can get NEAREST snap to work on the multileaders?
END and INT (where leader crosses other entities) work but cannot use NEAREST.
Can use NEAREST on normal leaders though.

I am adding some complex details to my block library, and I want to include about 20 different multileaders in each block so that I have immediate and consistent access to the annotations. I may use an individual block many timess in a drawing, but each instance of the block may only require me to use 4 or 5 of the multileaders. I also want to be able to manipulate the multileaders in the same way as I do any regular multileader (change their position and location, landing length, align, etc) and even align and position them with other multileaders that are not part of the block.
How do I create or use a block in this way? I essentially want to create a dynamic block of some sort, but I don't really know where to start. Am I trying to do the impossible? Would it be easier to just create a visibility parameter to keep the mleaders hidden, go into the block editor at every instance of the block, copy the mleaders I want to use, and paste them into the drawing?

I am using map 3d 2011 and i am running into issues with the use of multi-leaders. I have a dwg with a few shape files in it and I have added multileaders to the dwg. When I save, close and then reopen the file the multileaders show up for a brief second during the loading process but then they disappear. All my settings are correct (layers, visibility, scales) as far as the leaders go but I can't figure out what the heck is going on. I tried adding another, select similar and only the one shows up that I just added. Saved the file and reopened. Same thing, the leader I just added shows up with the others for a brief second and then "poof" gone!!!

When editing multileader text, the insertion point changes. How do I stop this? I have several multileaders with their insertion points aligned together (left justified notes) but if I edit any text, the multileader jumps to a new position and is no longer aligned with the other notes.

Does relative coordinate entry work for multileaders? I would like to keep all of my leaders consistent and neat but other than using ost I cannot figure out a way to make them all line up. I would like to use coordinate entry if I could, maybe I am doing things in the wrong order?

The hatching appears in model space and paper space, except when i print from paper space, to PDF for example, the hatching disappears. why you can see the hatching in paper space but when you print to PDF it doesn't come out.

We have some VIPs coming to see our new waste treatment facility. I was asked to make a pretty picture for them. So I started to hactch our site plan. Roads with gravel, grass, solid for tanks. They wanted more... So i changed tanks and grass to gradients and that was ok. When I tried to change the roads to a gradient, the tanks and grass became the new gradient and the road diappeared (blank). This is in ACAD 2013. I tried to do it in 2012 and the system crashed. When I restarted ACAD asked to send error message. The road is outlined in a polyline, as are all other objects beacause I have learned that ACAD can't handle the pick area unless it is a very small area. So I have lots of extra lines that are on defpoints or a separate layer, and hatches on their own layer.

AutoCAD generates gaps to my drawing, sometimes there is NO gap and then it says there is when I'm selection new are to hatch (puts the red circle to old place where it didn't earlier say there is gap!). I have tried to use Gap Tolerance tool first with value of 10 but it didn't work. After that I changed it to 1000 and it worked but the hatch area wasn't good. I also tried to pull line over other and trim it, didn't work either. Used also join but it didn't work.
I have used object snap always when I drew the picture. I have zoomed as much I can and there is no gaps.

My colleague is using AutoCAD 2012 LT. He was wondering is it possible to hatch an un-hatched object by matching it with the properties of a hatched source object?

We are using section views in our drawings. However, we don’t want any hatching to show up. I’ve scoured the hatch libraries and hatch documentation and I have not been able to figure out how to turn hatching off, or alternatively to create a hatch style that is blank. My attempt at creating a blank hatching file is attached, but it didn’t work.
How can I turn off hatching or create a 'blank' .pat?

When a co-worker is trying to hatch using pick point, multiple red circles start appearing and choke up the program. He is not even picking inside the area where these gap indication circles are appearing. I have had him adjust the hatch gap tolerance but am wondering if I can turn off this behavior entirely?

I have small problem. When I use hatch on certain area it also wants to hatch one closed area ,however other closed areas do not hatch. I rechecked , remade the closed area which is hatched along side with the area I really need to hatch. So how can I isolate that little area? Or what is the problem?
