AutoCAD 2010 :: Multileaders And Extend To Text Option
Dec 15, 2011
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 turned off or unchecked "Extend leader to text" (Multileader Style > Modify > Content > Extend leader to text) in all my templates.
Yet, when I start a new drawing using those templates, that feature is turned on (checked) again.
I've tested this several times. Yes, I'm using the same templates I've been saving. I've even created a new template from scratch with none of our standards in it. The check for Extend leader to text keeps returning.
I've tried this in both AutoCAD and Civil 3d.
Any way to duplicate this?

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"...

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.

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 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?

I've been practicing my autocad and I'm having a problem comprehending the Edge option in the Extend command. I have tried using both options i.e. "extend" and "no extend" and I don't see any difference. What is the purpose of the edge command and it's two options?

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.

When I purge a drawing, the text styles are not a selectable option (as if there are no purgeable text styles). if i use (-purge), it will purge the unused text styles. I can also go into the Styles dialog box and delete the styles. It happens in all drawings and nobody else in the dept has the problem. I can't find any settings that would exclude any items from the purge dialog box as well. Autocad 2012? windows 7 64 bit.

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.

I have a rectangle shape (a 3D polyline) as in the attached DWG. I want to Offset, Scale, Extend (call it whaever you wish) so that the new 3D polyline (after the scale, offset or extend) is at the same plane as the original one.
Obviously the Z values of the new 3D polyline will be different from the original.

I am using Autocad 2010. I have been using 2008, but recently upgraded. I have a project that one particular file is driving me nuts! I can not use trim or extend on any existing line work. However, if I draw two non intersecting/crossing lines and ust the 'TR' command it works fine. I have checked to see if all lines are in the same plane and the appear to be. The only way I can trim or extend is if I use the 'Flatten' command.

I have a 3d drawing file which I manually flattened except the section. The ground plan is at 0 Z axis.
Now I am trying to draw lines on top of it, and I cannot extend my lines. Any solution to this?
Additional question:
I also had some difficulties when I was trying to flatten the 3d model. "Flatten" command did not work. I understand Flatshot did not work because these are not solids. But why Flatten did not work? That was why I had to manually change start and end of z position.

Inside the trim command I cannot hit "shift" to switch to the extend command instead.

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?

I am working through an AutoCAD training book and on one exercise it tells me to use the Snap Rotate Option and select points A as the new origin and point E as the rotation angle. The problem is that I can't find this Snap Rotate control anywhere.

I need to dimension numerous angles in a drawing, but I have a constraint on where I need the dimension to start from. I'm looking for the "least number of mouse-clicks" solution on this, since it's angles.
I need the dimension to always start from a quadrant, preferably 0 degrees.I'd prefer to simply pick (1) line and have AutoCAD auto-magically dimension that line from 0 degrees, rather than my having to draw short horizontal lines at each of these lines, then pick each one inside the DIMANGULAR command.

I'm trying to export 3D models from AutoCAD 2011 to AutoMod Simulation software. However, every different export filetype that I try does not allow me to bring the model into AutoMod and still have the colors that the model had in AutoCAD. For example, If I create a car and it has several colors for the metal, the wheels, and the windshield, it brings it over as a single block, all in red. I'm not sure how to fix this. In the old models, I used to use 3DSOUT command, but that doesn't look like an option any longer.

Version of the CHSPACE.lsp command that has a "copy" option like the one from Intellicad?This version makes a copy of the selected objects first then moves them into the space you want, leaving the original objects alone in their original space.
