AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Multi Leader Block Colors

Dec 31, 2012

I have a road construction ahead sign where I have hatched the background orange (color 30) as a mask since I am using an air photo for the drawing background.  The block is fine until I try to use it in a multi leader, then the hatch color switches to block and I can't read the text.  The block was created on the same layer as it is inserted.  How do I get the orange hatch to show as orange in the multi leader block?  See the attached screen shot.

AutoCad 2D :: Multi Leader With Annotative Block

Jun 9, 2011

Is it true that you can't attach an Annotative Block to a MultiLeader?This is the message that I got when trying: "Specify leader arrowhead location or [leader Landing first/Content

first/Options] <Options>: OP
Enter an option [Leader type/leader lAnding/Content type/Maxpoints/First
angle/Second angle/eXit options] <eXit options>: C
Select a content type [Block/Mtext/None] <Block>:
Enter block name <DOORTAG>: LEGENDNOTE
Invalid Input."

It's unfortunate because I would like the block to show up Annotative in my Legend, and then again to the proper scale with the Multi Leader

AutoCAD 2010 :: Multi Leader With Block Attributes

Oct 1, 2013

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.

I am using Arial font.  When I use a multi leader and snap to a line the text is BOLD.  How do I change the properties of the multi leader to elevation 0.00 so the text will not be bold.  I tried moving the multi leader to a line with elevation 0.00, but it is still bold.

AutoCAD LT :: Multi Leader Without Landing

How do I make a leader, no text, no landing, grippers on both ends.  Every time I go to grab the gripper on the non-arrow side of the leader it moves away from me .  The line just moves away from the pointer at an ever increasing speed and distance).

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Add Leader Part To Leader Created When Drag Station Offset Label

Mar 6, 2012

C3D 2012 running with 64 bit Win7 all up to date on a capable Dell Precision

I want to add the leader part to the leader that is created when I drag a Station Offset label. This would be the part in a three point leader that goes horizontal for a short distance before the label text begins, similar to how a multi-leader is created. Looks weird having the C3D labels be the only "leadered" noted be without the landing.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Multi Leader Not Extending To Text

Apr 17, 2012

All of my multi leaders (mleaders) worked great in 2012 with the added "extend leader to text" for leaders on the end of a text string, but in 2013, they now attach to the end of the box again.  

Some appear as though they are "trying" to extend, but the beginning of the leader without the extension now starts at the end of the box on the FIRST line.

See the attached examples:

Top one - Mleader is on the end of a text box larger than the actual text (NOTE:  I have many drawings like this, opening them in 2013 is a nightmare)

Version #2 - Note what the leader does in this example, the "extend to end of text" is the correct length, but it starts at the edge of the box, not the end of the first line of text.  Again, this worked fine in 2012.

Version #3 - This is what should happen, only happens if you adjust the text box size.  I don't really want to spend my clients money updated dozens of multileaders on hundreds of drawings to force the mleader to work.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Multi Leader - Landing Attachment

Aug 28, 2013

Just a quick (but possibly hard?) question. I have a multileader set up, but I also want it to automatically include a line which spans the vertical breadth of the text at the end of the landing. It's hard to explain, so I've put an image below.  

Currently it's set up as a block that can change in height, depending on how many levels of text I tell it to fit to. Problem is, if I rescale my Multileader, I'll have to go back and rescale the block separately.

Now, possible to include such a feature in a Multileader such that it autoscales and auto lengthens, depending on the height of text?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Multi Leader Styles Not Updating?

Nov 8, 2011

I 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.

AutoCAD LT :: Making Boxed Multi Leader Text Opaque

Sep 23, 2013

Is there a way to make the box, and thus the ext within the box block out anything behind it on the drawing. Making the boxed text opaque?

This would be real handy in a complicated drawing if the lines, etc. behind a text box on a multileader did not show through the text box.

AutoCAD LT :: Matching Old Dim Styles To New Multi Leader Style On Old Dwg Files

Mar 19, 2012

I have recently, and reluctantly, purchased LT2012 and have learned to hate it with an unbridled passion.  I have a client that uses Acad R14dwg still and when I open their dwg files the multileader style is set to some arbitrary "standard" instead of matching the existing dimstyle of "3-16 Letters" that the file was created with.  When editing old files it makes it silly to add a leader and have to create a new multileader style with every single dwg I open.  Can it be done once and never be done again for all subsequent dwg files regardless of when they were created?  Can it be 'matched' to an existing leader that was created years ago?

For that matter, why did Autodesk pull some dimension leaders OUT of the dimstyle options at all? All dwg files are ONLY in model space, they never use layout or paper space, but that's another topic.

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Displaying Attribute Info In Multi-leader?

Sep 16, 2013

is there an way to display attribute data using a multi-leader inside a single dynamic block.

To elaborate, I'm trying to create a borehole dynamic block that I can enter the ground level and end of borehole level as attributes, and have them show up in a multi-leader. The reason for the multi-leader is that I can add a background mask to it and it automatically adjusts the length of the outline obox around it.

I just want to insert the borehole block from a tool palette, enter a couple of attributes, stretch the bottom down to whatever level, and I'm done.

I've been playing with it all weekend trying to get fields to show the attributes and I can get it to work if I use another block for the levels (multi-leaders), but even then I have to into the fields an mess with them. It's go to be east so my CAD guys can do it without slowing down, otherwise they may as well carry writing everything out long-hand as they do now.

I'm using Civil 3D 2012, if that matters.

How to make Multi Leader end line landing or turn 90 degree vertical? I just want to use the leader point to the part and no text at the end of the leader.

Some people like to use just Leader not Multi leader but i like to use M-leader so i can enter the text in difference line. (See Pic below)

AutoCad :: Convert Existing Block To Leader That Uses Same Block

Oct 21, 2013

I was wondering if it would be possible to convert an existing block to a leader that uses the same block with the arrow attached without losing the information which is stored inside the block attributes.

I have created the multi leader with the block definition attached but I'm still struggling to incorporate the data into it.

There are to many blocks to do this manually. I have exported the data to a excel but do not know how to insert it back into to multi leader.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Editing Multi Leader Text Insertion Point

Nov 16, 2012

Is there a way to modify the text insertion point of multileaders using lisp? We have a problem with some of our multileaders getting a landing distance set to a negative value.  My lisp routine will correct these to a default value, but then the text jumps a bit.  If I could get the insertion point prior to changing the landing distance then I could restore that point after changing the landing distance.

AutoCad :: Adjust Attribute In Block On Leader?

I have a leader with a block for signs that we use on our road schemes. I cannot access the attribute information on the block without exploding the leader with the block. The problem is that although I can then access the attribute information the leader is then broken and is only a line and a hatch arrow. Is there another way to do this?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Create Leader That Reads Block Data

Jan 23, 2013

I am trying to create a leader that reads the block "name" and then places it into circle, or square at the end of a leader.

I see it in the "other" programs but I have plain ole Autocad.

Should be simple enough except my brain is locked in the clouds and im spinning around in circles.

Which may not be a bad thing, except NASCAR hasnt  started yet.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Faulty Leader Flip On Dynamic Block

Jul 11, 2012

I designed a dynamic block to represent the profile of boreholes, and its different layers (depths, in profile) are linked to the respective description text by a leader. 

Problem is when I flip the text with its leader, the tip of the arrow loses contact with the borehole. And as I flip more times, the further it gets from its original position.
