Autocad2010 there is a blue triangle preceding layer name in property box on some layers as shown on attached image. Sometimes these layers are turned on when viewing paperspace, sometimes they do not show up.
View 3 RepliesIs there anyway to save a multileaderstyle so that I don´t have to create it every time I open a new drawing?
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe are trying to use the "Underline top line" option located in the Content tab of the Modify MultiLeader Style dialog in AutoCAD 2012 (See attachment).
The minor issue we have is that there seems to be no way to adjust the gap between the text and the "underline". In regular dimensions, there is a dimvar called DIMGAP that controls this distance. Is there any way to control the distance between the top line MText and the "underline"?
I have autocad running on my partitioned mac and I have just created a multileader style with Datum triangle filled as the arrowhead symbol. In the view panel the symbol looks correct, but when I select the multileader with this datum style and add it to my drawing it appears as an unfilled triangle!
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have created a 1/4" DIM style and everything is how I want it to look except my leader function. When I go to use the leader it is grossly out of scale ( much smaller than I want) and it uses a different text than that of what I set in the style.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm using multileader overall scale to define ml. types for different drawing scales. For example ml. style 1_10 uses overall scale 10 and 1_20 uses overall scale 20.
When i select the ml. and change its style from 1_10 to 1_20 it also changes the overall scale to 20 which is ok.
Thing is that if i want to change it back from 1_20 to 1_10 (or something else) it only changes the dimstyle and not the overall scale(text height).
I use LT 2010 and have defined a multileader style which is annontative. When i use this each time i have to make he text annotative and set the height even though it uses the right annotative text style.
View 2 Replies View Relatedhow to create a selection set based on a specific Multileader style? I can currently creating a typedvalue array to define the filter criteria, but cannot find the DXFCODE for the Multileader style.
Ex.
TypedValue[] acTypeValAr = new TypedValue[1];
acTypeValAr.setvalue(new TypedValue(DXFCODE, "Multileader Style"),0);
Multileader Style that is Annotative, and once it gets drag/dropped on a Tool Palette, the Annotative aspect of the style no longer is enabled when it's activated through the Tool Palette on a fresh drawing? I've looked through all the System Variables related to the Annotative family (that I can think of) and still I'm not seeing the results that I want.
I can insert these into our Client Specific Template for our internal stuff, but we kick off new jobs all the time by producing a quick "test fit" for our client.
These Tool Palettes are networked on an enterprise level so it would be a real bummer if we can't get it to work.
Apart from FLATTEN, is there a way to change the Z coordinates of an MLEADER to stop the text from appearing bold.
FLATTEN explodes the MLEADER & is thus not suitable for this.
I'm snapping to the corners of my multileader text boxes. OSNAPNODELEGACY is set to 1 and I'm not snapping to regular text or mtext. How can I change this behavior for the multileader text?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI noticed that some multileader move when editing and some do not. This is very frustrating. Usually this seems to happened when annotative scale is on. I tried to avoid this happening by turning off annotative scale and this does not work. Instead I go to another file to find the other multileader text that doesn't move when I edit. I tried to find what causing this shift in the properties menu but can't see the difference between the two.
How to stop the multileader shifting!? Is this a bug?
I have noticed on several drawings that the multileaders change themselves when the drawing is closed and opened again. I put the multileaders in, they look fine, and when I close and open the drawing the multileader has extended itself across my text. If I edit it it fixes itself but it 'breaks' itself again once I close and open.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am just wondering how is possible to set up a Multileader style that creates text with a background mask.
I have been trying to get this feature in the Multileader style manager and I could not find it in order to avoid to set up background mask every time I create a Multileader
in general, I add my multileaders in paperspace after I have set my model space scale. However, I am now bound to that scale! That is, ML in paperspace really only have one scale: 1-1, right? For example, I wanted to zoom in to a part of my project (ie, reduced my scale by a 1/3) and all my ML we pointing erroniously into space.
Just so I undestand, if one anticipates changing the scale of a drawing mid-project, the ML should be made annotative, and placed in model space?
Actually We are trying AutoCAD 2010 and i have a question about multileader i cannot find in the manual.we are used to set a bright background mask under our text (including Mtext, Qleader, Dimensions) this way the printed text can be seen much better in dark area.
Now i'm am upgrading from AutoCAD 2007 and discovering Multileader (and i cannot find the Qleader button on the ribbon) so i conclude the new "standard is multileader", this is annoying because i cannot find anywhere how to put text mask background inside text in mleader. any option available? i would like to begin to use this function, but the text background is mandatory here.
GPS'd fire hydrant locations. The GPS points were exported to shape files and using Data Connect, these points locate correctly in Map (using version 2009). The points have default styling...color, shape...and I want to use a CAD block of a fire hydrant to symbolize the points instead of the default square. Is this possible?
Clicking "Style" on the Display Manager to open the Style Point dialog box.
Next to the heading "Symbol:" clicking the ... button brings me to "Select a Symbol" pop up dialog box.
Next to the "Symbol Library:" drop down box, clicking the ... button brings me to the folder located at C://Program Files/AutoCAD Map 3D 2009/Sample/Symbols. There are 13 DWGs in this folder all called "Map - something.dwg" like "Map - electric.dwg" or "Map - water.dwg.
I can open any of these DWGs and they all provide multiple symbols to choose from in the "Select a Symbol" dialog box. However, none of these DWGs contain a symbol for a fire hydrant.
What other folders can be navigated to, in order to find other blocks? Can other CAD blocks be used as shape file symbolization or does the prefix "Map - xxx" in this folder mean that only these specific drawings will open for shape file symbolization?
There is a font and table style called "Legend" that is automatically generating and can not be purged.
I have looked through all the start up files, all the lisp files and can't find anything that would be creating them!
They appear in any file I open, new or old and even if I open a template file.
I have attached a file that should be empty but you will (or should) see both a font and table style called "Legend".
(FYI I am running AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010 as AutoCAD 2010)
Is there any way to lock a text style so that the associated font style can not be changed?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have recently converted mtext to multileader text & i thought it was causing some issues but now im not so sure. Some of my users are experiencing a long time to regen & it has caused some peoples computers to freeze up. Is there a setting or a variable that could be causing this? I am not sure if this is an issue with the multileaders or with autocad release 13 or 14 in general. I had the users turn regenauto off until i can find a solution.

I have this special type of callout, which is not easy to draft, but it looks pretty in plans. Is there any easy way to convert this to multileader?
Usually, I create it as block, insert it and change location of solid arrow around textbox. If I want to relocate this callout, Its not that easy as like multileader. I have to move solid arrow around textframe (from one corner to other) to point the same location. can this be done automatically (like mleader?)
I have used v2006 til recently. Now I use LT 2010. I just use multileaders for arrows. I am starting at the arrow head, and I want the tail to end on the "endpoint" of a line. When I "right click" to finish the command, the tail of the arrow "jumps off" the endpoint or nearest or whatever snap point I use. I have looked in the settings and turned all the text & landings off & set break size to zero.

I am trying to apply the match properties to a newly created multileader but it isn't working.
how to change the style of the tick symbol for the cut/fill labels? In the attached you can see its a good size circle and I want to change it to just a small cross. I dont see that setting in the label style anywhere.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using the Multileader Align tool for my labels and it works great as long as my labels are left justified. I noticed this issue has been brought up before but didn't know a way to make it work for right justified text.
My problem is this: right justified text will not justify properly. It will not justify the same way that left justified text does. If you can follow this, leaders that have text that are left-justified will align according to their leader lines and everything looks neat and correct. The leaders that are right justified do not align properly because they align to the left side of the text. See the following screen shots and you'll understand...
Incorrectly justified leaders.

There seems to be another issues with fonts in CorelDraw X6.
I was trying different fonts for a design and for some fonts (at least two), letters (and other characters) were substituted for the preceding letter in the alphabet. For example "b" would become "a", making the text gibberish.
It happened with one Opentype font and with one TrueType font. [URL]

why i can't not match properties (MP) multileader texts, as you can see on the pic, i want the Mleader text on the right to be the same size as on the left, they are in the same layer, same mleader style but when click MP to match with the one on the left, nothing happen?
Weld symbol generator that will allow stacked fractions for the size?
