AutoCAD Inventor :: Unable To Change Leader Text Position
Jan 10, 2013I cannot change the leader text position to be aligned next to the leader line, the text is positioned offset from the line, how do I correct this .

Is there any way to change the position in which the leader arrow attaches to the tag? I want the arrow to come from the top left and bottom right.. Is there away to set this up? As you can see, by default, it comes from the center. I was hoping there would be some adjustability on this.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI would like to add a Leader Text to lable a part- referencing the Part Number or whatever, move the text close to the edge of the part, to remove the leader/arrow and make the txt rotate 90deg to be vertical. I have messed with style settings for a new Vertical Txt style, and Vert Dim style -(pointed to the Vert Txt style and adjusted Notes and Leaders tab)
i don't understand why in the Format Text window the "rotation" box is always grayed out. can you unlock it?
My text style height is set to 1/8, however my leader text height is 3/16. How do I change the leader text height? T

The leader is justified to the left of the text. If I drag the position of the leader head to the right hand side of the text, the leader still starts from the left hand side of the text (goes at the bottom of the text) so how would I justify the leader position of a multileader to the right hand side of the text?
I had a quick look in the properties pane earlier although am fairly busy and it is only a trivial issue.
can you change the default Leader MTEXT to TEXT?? AutoCAD 2005.
View 7 Replies View Relatedin Autocad when you change the justification of text the insert snap of the text stays fixed and the text changes position around this point.
Using the JUSTIFYTEXT command you can change the justification of the text without changing its position. However this command is operated through the command bar of dynamic input. What I would like to do is to have the justification change in the quick properties this way.
Ok, I'm sure there is a very simple way to fix this that I just haven't yet discovered. When I insert a stacked dimension in the top line of my leader text, the spacing gets automatically adjusted for the hight of the stacked dimension and it adjusts the leader line up so that it actually passes through my top line. Can this be avoided? I have attached a picture for reference.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI made a simple block for a utility pole in plan view. It consisted of a donut with one string of mtext beside it. I had created it so that the text would orientate itself to be horizontal in each viewport regardless of the ucs angle. I later added a line for a guy wire and made the block dynamic with visibility states. Now I am unable to have the text orientate to a horizontal position in the viewports.
View 8 Replies View RelatedIn AutoCAD leader settings you can set the number of point so the leader looks standard. I am searching for this in inventor and am coming up empty. I have seen other engineering drawings where I can tell that the generated data in the balloon was entered from the parts column in the B.O.M. But instead of part numbers, I have seen text. and I have mine set up to generate the Balloons that way but I do not like the leader type it is giving me. The attachment is what my leaders are looking like in inventor.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using "Attach Text to Leader" to add information about ballooned items to the balloon leader. The same information is needed for each balloon leader as shown below.
<COMPANY>, <DESCRIPTION>
<PART NUMBER>
I would like to just copy the fields from the first "Attach to Leader Text" and paste them in the subsequent "Attach to Leader Text" instances, instead of picking the "Type" and "Property" from the pull down lists for each of the three property I want to access, each time I place a "Attach to Leader Text" .
The problem is the fields in the subsequent Attach to Leader Text pasted instances do not automatically link to iProperties on the ballooned item? how to automate this procedure/
I've tried this code here after setting the assembly flexible in the top level but it doesn't work.
ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ComponentDefinition?.RepresentationsManager.PositionalRepresentations(?"Test").Activate
I will be pulling the subassemblies in as read-only parts and I would like to change the positional representation with code in the top level assembly.
I'm trying to add a single leader line to a drawing wihtout any text attached, the only way I can see is it use the 'leader text' command but now I can't detatch the text, is there any way to simply add leader only ?

I have a question on Leader Text. Lets say I have a multiple sub-assys in a main assy. When I do the leader text on one of the sub-assys it will take the description from the individual part in the sub-assy. Is there a way I can make it put the assembly description rather than the part description?

Is it possible to change/edit one of the Positions (In the Representation tree) to be the Master Position?
is there any way that I can change position of represenations with shortcut on keyboard? I use mouse to select each position now.

We have one ilogic rule with different types of User controled boxes. 1x InputListBox 2x InputBoxes Both InputBoxes appears in the center of the screen. The InputListBox appears in the upper left croner of the screen. That's not optimal for the user This problem only occurs when I call the rule via .net program in the User Interface. The Problem does not occur when I load the rule via runRule in the iLogic Rule Browser.

For instance, I want to write, "see page 6"
But if I add a page before 6 then I have to remember to update the note. Is there a way to live link this in the leader?
Is there a way to remove the extension line from a leader (when using the Leader Text command)? I'm trying to end up with just text, an arrowhead, & a straight line. It would look like this:
<---------- TEXT
as opposed to:
TEXT

<----------/

I am trying to link component parameters to the assembly and leader text always picks up the particular part in the assembly rather that the assembly as a whole. I want to point to a door assy with leader text and say it is "DOOR A" using model parameters but leader text picks up the particular part I am pointing to with my leader text rather then the assembly.

In Inventor 2012, you could choose Balloon, select a part, click at some location and the Balloon was placed and finished. Now in Inventor 2013 you have to right-click and choose Continue. The same applies, when you want to place a Leader Text (and maybe elsewhere as well).
Why do we suddenly have to make two additional clicks compared to Inventor 2012. It doesn't work, that you can press Enter instead of the additional mouse clicks.
And why is the Open Drawing moved to second level. The Marking Menu is of no use, especially not in the tree browser.
Why do you Inventor designers make such changes that make Inventor more annoying to operate compared to the previous version. It should be the other way around....like the brilliant inclusion of Open Drawing.
Is there anyway to prevent AutoCAD from converting a MTEXT leader with a block element attached to a BLOCK leader when doing a copy/paste? See screen shot.

We have a problem in some of our views (mostly dependent views), Central file.We place normal annotation text (not littera) and everything looks fine.
Then it happens, random can take days, and noone tuch the views nor the text style, that the text duplicate itself up to 1-4 times, and also change its location on the view.(The text don't lie on each other, but spread around the view, but keeps the condition in location to each other from the origin texts that was placed)
When we have encounter this we have deleted the copys and placed the text right again and then it works for a while...everything repeats itself, and in the end (random timeflow) the text deletes itself completely.

Simple question:
am trying to edit a text layer but i am unable to open the text box to change text.
It creates a new text layer everytime i click on the layer.
I have a plan with lots and lot numbering. I made the lot number text annotative and matching view orientation. But when it rotates in the view it rotates about the left justification point instead of middle as inserted into drawing. So I inserted lot numbert text into drawing and changed text to non-annotative, but now i can not change the text rotation angle unless i use rotate command on each individual piece of text (was trying to pick all text and change in properties box). Using feature lines to assist in grading design so not sure if this is an autocad problem or a civil 3d 2012 problem. I can rotate dtext made or inserted in drawing.

I’m wondering why the “leader” of the “dimension text” disappears when the text is moved.
How can I control this setting?
I need to show this “leader” all the time. Is that possible?
Please, have a look on the screenshots below (the file is attached).
how to change the thickness of leader lines. I'm editing a drawing done by someone else and I need to make the leader lines thicker. I tried changing the layer thickness and making sure the settings were such that the leader line thickness would be determined by the layer. I also tried channging the leader line thickness in properties and/or leader styles, but no luck there either.
