AutoCAD 2010 :: Drawings Are Not Showing Multi-leaders?

View 7 RepliesI am using autocad lt 2014 and have some multi leaders on a tool palette that work fine but if I hit enter or right click for enter the multi leader will use what ever leader is set from the multi leader style that is set on the multi leader style control, but only the leader will come in wrong the text will come in correct.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am using annotative multileaders in model space. When I view my layout drawing in paperspace, they are not there. The layer is not turned off or frozen, the layer is set to plot. When I turn off the annotative feature, then I can see them in paper space (and plot preview).
View 6 Replies View RelatedThe text that we're using for the majority of our notations doesn't look very good at 1.0x scale so I try and adjust the paragraph line spacing to 0.8x as I go. I also know that if I create MTEXT and adjust the paragraph line spacing at the prompt it will "stick". However it doesn't stick for leaders and there's no real way of creating a permanent setting, is there?
Slight inconvenience of adjusting that setting each time I create a leader.
Is there a way to move the tip of the other scale's arrow of an annotative multileader in the model space ?
For exemple, I shifted this tree a little bit to the left. I have a multileader pointing to the middle of it to indicate the tree species. When selecting the multileader, I can use the little blue square to move the tip of the small arrow but how can I move the other one ?
Since that multileader is pointing to other trees as well, I cannot move the whole thing.
I guess I could go to the paper space and into a viewport using that scale, but I need to do that quite often and I'm sure there should be an easier way.
When we copy multileadered items from one viewport to another the leaders do not show up, but the text does.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have 10 separate drawing files that I want to combine into one drawing and I want each drawing to be on a separate layout.I want to end up with one drawing with 10 layout tabs each containing the graphics from one drawing.Each drawing has one layout with the graphics on it.No fancy paper space / model space stuff.No viewport scaling.
I thought this could be done via Design Center but I've never used that.
Would like to know how to set automatic text masking for call outs with leaders. Is there a way?
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe have Adobe Acrobat Pro which has a plugin to allow batch plotting of PDFs from multi-sheet drawings. Works awesome in Autocad 2009 and before. It DOES NOT work with Autocad 2011!
We have drawings with 70 sheets and it's nice to print the entire document to a single PDF in one step. Takes less than one minute in Acad09. Nice!
I have 200+ page drawings and need to open each dwg to erase same block and text strings. Any way to batch erase same blocks and strings in multi-pages?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI needed to make a dome-like feature and the only way I could get something that looked even close to what I was modeling was to use the loft tool. I've attached the model of what I'm talking about (it's Inventor 2010) The problem is when I try to make a drawing for it, it won't show some of the lines on the dome feature. The only way the loft would work was if I checked the "closed loop" button. I tried checking the box in the drawing saying show tangent faces or something like that and that didn't work either.
View 4 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to show two different viewports in the same layout that show views from two different drawings? So one viewport would show a section of the current drawing's modelspace, and the second viewport would show a a section of modelspace from another drawing? (and possibly update automatically like an XREF?) Or would the easiest way be to just XREF both drawings into a new drawing, and then show viewports from them in the new drawing?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm doing drawings of a construction site. Traditionally, in AutoCAD drawings, we show a solid line to represent the ground plane in elevation views. I'd like to do the same thing in my Inventor drawings.
I can "include" the XZ Plane in the view, which shows the line I'm wanting, but it shows as a phantom line.
Right-clicking either the line in the drawing or the plane in the browser only gives me the option to "Edit Center Mark Style..."
If I go to the Style Editor, Object Defaults, Work Plane, the object style is Center Mark (ANSI). If I click on that, the drop-down only gives me that one choice.

I'm not sure if there's a way to stop this, but whenever I add parts to an assembly and switch to the drawing of the assembly, the hidden lines for those parts show up in every view of the assembly. Right now I'm having to go to each view and select the hide hidden lines option for each part. Is it possible to stop the hidden lines from showing up everytime I add a part?

I have a multileader with attributed labels in a block, see included png file. The attributes are indicated by the rectangled text. As you can see the block looks fine, but the leader attaches itself to the insertion point of the block. I want the leader to justify automatically left or right, depending on the drag position of the block. One thing I noticed is that if the block contains an odd number of text lines the leader will automatically self justify. An even number of text line produces what I have here.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have various multi leader styles set up in my drawing. I place a multi leader (arrow and text not seperate mtext) then decided to change it to a different leader style let's say from ML48 to ML96. The problem happens when I try to change it again. It doesn't update to my new multi leader style. Example....from ML96 back to ML48 or any other style. It seems like I only get one opportunity to apply a different style.

Where the majority of people annotate their drawings. A major improvement I recommended to the plans was to place our annotations in our XREF drawings instead of placing them in model space of our sheet sets. (Our sheet sets are our drawings that have our titlblocks that we plot from ). So, I am asking where do the majority of CAD users like to add annotations to there drawings? PaperSpace, model space, xref’s, etc. and why they do it that way?
I should also state that we are transitioning from 2012 software to Civil3d 2014 software too.
I have been trying to figure out how to copy a Layout from one DWG to another. I know there are several threads about this, and I have tried the methods they reccomend, but I am having an unusual problem.
I have been trying to open a Layout by using the "from Template" option for creating a new Layout, then opening the DWG containing the desired Layout. It works, but everything drawn in model space ends up compressed into the lower left corner and there is nothing in model space. So, the paper space information from the Layout is being imported, but the drawing info is getting mixed up somehow.
I have tried using the Design Center with identical results.
I have built a 3D turbine that combined more than 50 3D parts. Now I want an assembly drawings to show our clients how to put those parts together. Any autodesk software? Some people recommended Inventor and I have never used it. Is this a right software to do some kinds like this project?
View 5 Replies View RelatedRecently I started using AutoCAD 2012 and I ran into one problem which I didn't encounter before.
The problem is that when I try to paste objects from another drawing (through clipboard - usually another instance of AutoCAD) I can't paste them in some drawings only.
The following things happen:
-Autocad behaves normally like when I usually paste objects except there is nothing inserted.
-When I save the drawing after unsuccessful insert, even if I canceled inserting, drawing size increases dramatically (for about 2-4MB).
-If I open new drawing, I can insert objects there.
-Also when I copy to clipboard, autocad takes a lot of time even if it is only few lines.
I tried these thing to fix issue:
-I checked if there are any layers turned off.
-I tried to copy with COPYBASE
-I restarted autocad (sometimes it works but only for some moments or for one insert).
-I did PURGE and AUDIT
-I tried to copy paste in same instance of AutoCAD but that didn't work.
I'm usually using t least 2 instances of AutoCAD (I hope that is not the problem).
I have an assembly with some hidden solids in which are turned to invisible in both part and assembly but they show on the drawing.
how to not show these in the drawing but still show the unhidden soild.
I am doing electrical drawings with the architect giving me an exported DWG from Vectorworks. I have XREF the background drawing that when opened is about 6 blocks of the building background and 2 blocks of the electrical devices.
Here is the problem: The architect sent me an updated DWG that only has the electrical updates without any backgrounds. My thought was to purge all and then select all the items and then copy with basepoint. Then open the original architects XREF drawing. Select those two electrical block, erase them (or move them to the size a fixed distance). Then paste as block from the other file. Then move the block to the correct location, explode, done.
Big problem: I just tons of this error in the command line referencing different block group numbers being ignored:
Duplicate definition of block Group-1265-1 ignored.
Then the block that was pasted added a background that wasn't in the old drawing and many of the items in that block was either missing or still had the old symbols. Can't figure out how to update the background with confidence that it is really updated with new information and not keeping old.
If I open a new drawing and paste that block in, everything comes in perfectly
