AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Text Gone Wild In Multileaders?
Sep 17, 2013
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.

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'm trying to set up a layer filter that excludes Existing layer names, Following NCS standard, Existing information layer names always end with a -E
Help file says:
~ (tilde)
Matches anything but the pattern; for example; ~*AB*matches all strings that don't contain AB
but using ~*-E (tilde asterix hyphen E) returns all the layer names that end with a "-E"
does the tilde not function with LayerProperty Filters?

I'm needing to merge a bunch of layers dozens of drawings.
original layers..
A-CL-E
A-CL-N
A-CL-X
new layer
A-CL
now i have to go through dozens of layers. that have that same format..
i.e. :
layername1-E
layername1-N
layername1-X
merge to layername1
ideally, a routine that says all layers named LAYER1* MERGE TO LAYER1

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.

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"...

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!!!

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.

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 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.

For labels, is the font decided in the general tab under text style or in the text component editor under the format tab? Are there overrides? There seems to be multiple locations for fonts choices when creating a label and I can't find a nice black and white answer.

I like using the edit label text in the lable styles to add additional text and information.
I can turn on / off the backroung mask for all the style but not each.
Is there a way to turn on / off the backround mask of each layout text.
I'm using civil 3d 2012 and testing 2013.

In the dragged state, I don't want to use 'As Composed' because the label is composed to be parallel to the line, but I want it to flip to horizontal to the view when dragged. This is working fine with 'Stacked Text'
What is not working is the text justification. I want it to remain centre justified, as it is composed. But there doesn't seem to be any option for this when you use the 'Stacked Text' option for the dragged state. I thought that setting the 'Leader Justification' to false might do it, but that just makes it always left justified. Am I missing something here? Is there no 'Top right/bottom right/middle center/top left.....' option for Stacked Text? And if not, why not?
I'm in 2011.

Is it possible to have a dynamic block with text which, when inserted into a drawing, will show the text orientation matched to the layout? I have a non-dynamic block which is simply a donut and a piece of text. When I insert it into a drawing, the text orientation will change to suit the orientation of the layout. I created another block with the same entities but I also added a couple of lines extending out from the center of the donut. I added stretch and rotation actions in order to rotate and stretch the lines. I also gave the block visibility states so that either one or two lines would appear (the block is a utility pole,by the way, with the lines representing guy wires). When I insert the dynamic block into a drawing, I cannot get the text to match the orientation of the viewport. I've tried changing different combinations of settings but the text won't appear horizontal.
The two blocks I mentioned above are inserted into one file with a number of other blocks. When I check the properties of the non-dynamic block, the "match orientation" is set to YES. I cannot, however, change the "match to orientation" setting to YES on the dynamic block. Is this simply because it is a dynamic block or am I missing something? I don't create a lot of dynamic blocks and therefore I am not a wizard at it so I am assuming I am doing something wrong.

I have used text mask for a long while and in the past month, when I use the text mask function, it erases my text completely. I am refering to the express tools command; not the background mask in Mtext. I have checked the display order.
The text mask settings are correct where as it is placing a wipeout. If I turn on the frames, I can move the wipeout and there is no text underneath.
I've done several audits and recovers but no luck. This happens with all my drawings now, not just one.

I keep getting the words "Label Text" being placed at 0,0 every time I insert a profile view into my drawing. Is there a simple way to change something in the settings to either not display this at all or sontrol how/where it is displayed? It is annoying when you do a zoom extents being you now get 2 small dots on screen, 1 being the actualy drawing at the correct utm cooridnates and the other being this piece of text down at 0,0.

In working with various styles and commands within AutoCAD Civil 3D 2008 we are receiving a text error message that reads, "CANNOT DRAW TEXT". This has had an effect on our style looks and sometimes effect text that is already in the drawing. Not everybody in the office gets the error, but most do.

Recently my company has changed the standards to label existing utilities with text right above the utilitie lines without leaders. I would like to do automate this process somehow using attributes or something similar to that. I have attached a screen shot of how I would like it to look. The objective is to speed up the labeling process.

I'm trying to assign the associated z values to the text in order to make a surface tin, as the survey I have is only in 2d format.
I've done this before so know it's possible - however it's been a fair while and my notes are rather insufficient...
