AutoCAD .NET :: Bind MLeader To An Entity
Nov 19, 2013
I have a method DrawMLeaderLine(Database db, Transaction tr, Point3d point, string text) that draws me a MLeader line to the given point with the given text as annotation. The MLeader line points to the midpoint of a Line entity. What I need is a binding between the Line midpoint and the MLeader line, so when I move or resize the Line, the MLeader line should follow! I already tried to solve that, using constraints, but it doesn't work for Leaders.
This is my code...
public static MLeader DrawMLeaderLine(Database db, Transaction tr, Point3d point, string text) { Point3d mTextLocation = point + new Vector3d(5, 5, 0); BlockTableRecord btr = tr.GetObject(db.CurrentSpaceId, OpenMode.ForWrite) as BlockTableRecord; MText mText = new MText(); mText.SetDatabaseDefaults(); mText.SetContentsRtf(text); [code]........
will be called from a different class...
Line line = DrawingUtil.DrawLine(doc.Database, tr, closestPoints.Item1, closestPoints.Item2); //Get midpoint of line double midPointX = (line.EndPoint.X + line.StartPoint.X) / 2.0d; double midPointY = (line.EndPoint.Y + line.StartPoint.Y) / 2.0d; Point3d midPointOfLine = new Point3d(midPointX, midPointY, 0); //Draw the leaderline MLeader leaderLine = DrawingUtil.DrawMLeaderLine(doc.Database, tr, midPointOfLine, "Connection");

I would like to add additional entities to the selection if any of the selected entities contains a an xdata value.
If I put the condition into the ImpliedSelectionChanged reactor I imagine will probably loop back on itself.

I have an mleader with a single vertices point.
There's a thing called a doglength which enables a grip point that allows the leader to be repositioned.
Dim ml As MLeader = TryCast(Entity, MLeader)
ml.SetDatabaseDefaults()
m_leaderIndex = ml.AddLeader()
m_leaderLineIndex = 0
ml.SetDoglegLength(m_leaderLineIndex, 2.5)
I have a problem with the dogleg length in that I can't rotate it according to the current UCS. Is this possible?

I need reading the values from an Mleader object that contains a block. I can get attributes from normal blocks with no problem, but I am struggling with this.
I can get all the way up to casting the attributes, but when I try getting the Attribute Reference, the code crashes. How do I get the AttributeReference from the AttributeDefinition? As it is now, if I declare the AttributeDefinition, the values return as nothing.
Dim acDoc As Document = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument Dim acCurDb As Database = acDoc.Database Dim acEd As Editor = DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Editor '' Start a transaction Using acTrans As Transaction = acCurDb.TransactionManager.StartTransaction() Try Dim acBt As BlockTable =

How to set the total scale of a mleader in C#?
In German it's called: Gesamtskalierung
I had no Problem with this....
_mLeader.LandingGap = 6;
_mLeader.TextHeight = 60;
_mLeader.MLeaderStyle = _mleaderStyleId;
but the total scale is also very important for me. I try to add a picture with a red frame so you can see what I' missing.

So I recently upgraded from AutoCAD 2008 LT to 2013 (a huge jump), and I'm now tying to use MLEADER command.
When I create a new leader, the text I create for it does not display on screen or even in the command line while I am typing, which means I have an absurd number of typos, I'll get distracted mid-sentence and forget where I was, etc.
This is bad. I'm assuming there's some sort of system variable that turns this on and off?
Possible relevant info: leader scale is set to "annotative," leader style is "MTEXT."

I have been able to insert a PDF into an AutoCAD 2013 dwg but only as an attachment. This seems to be similar to xref but I can't seem to bind the pdf to the dwg. Therefore when I send the dwg to a client and they open it, they only see the drawing format and no PDF attachment. Sending the PDF as a separate file is not an acceptable solution.
Is there a way to insert a PDF and bind it to the dwg so an external reference file is not required?
I'm not interested in converting the PDF to a dxf or any other format. Just interested in knowing whether there is a way to insert and bind a PDF to an ACAD dwg.

I pulled in a survey from an outside vendor and was just going to work with what they have. Their MLEADERS are a different font than what I would like and changing the Text Style doesn't work. I notice in the properties for the MLEADERS that the contents don't have just the mleader text, but is says this instead:
{fSansSerif|b0|i0|c2|p2;W1;TEXTHERE}
Obviously its overriding with the text style with the bit of code. But is there a way to change it? Hitting the ellipses in the Contents properties just transfers control to the model space. I can't edit from the properties panel like you can with a DIM or anything. I don't remember how it functioned in '08 or '12. MATCHPROP also does not change the font.
Yes I could just create the MLEADERS but I feel it would take less time delete that fSansSerif junk than it would be to place and retype every single MLEADER in the drawing.

I am trying to use a lisp that will turn on a background mask on selected mleaders. I found the attached lisp here [URL]. it works good except the mask border offset factor is set to 1.5. I need the offset to be 1.0. When I look thru the lisp code it says the default is 1.0 but can be changed.
how I can use the lisp and get mask offset factor to be 1.0?

I have a weird issue with Mleader landing lines.In AutoCAD 2012, I get only one arrow grip on mleader landing lines when I select an mleader (see image below) In AutoCAD 2010 - when I open the same exact drawing - I get TWO arrow grips when I select an mleader.

I have had an issue with AutoCAD 2012 that I cannot fix. AutoCAD 2010 did not do this.
Here is the problem: I start by directing your attention to the attached file "LEADER PROB1". As you can see, i have two MLEADER notations. one ("TOP LINE") is above the other ("MIDDLE LINE"). The left side of the text in both mleader notations align and the leader jets out from the left side as well. However, each leader has a different angle at the corner of the leader landing. If I wanted to make the "MIDDLE LINE" leader angel to match the "TOP LINE" Leader angle, i used to move nod where the landing bends and continues on to the leader (circled in red in my attached image).
However, when i move this node, I end up with the angles matching, BUT now the text is not aligned, see attached image "LEADER PROB2".
How can i fix this? Quick Leaders ("QLEADER") works just fine (in regards to landing extensions) but not MLEADERS. I would like to extend the mleader landing but keep the text where it is, I don't want the text portion to move.

Working in 2012 (but saving to 2007 DWG format), I created an MLEADER text box with a frame and background masking on. Everything seemed to be OK onscreen in 2012. But when we opened the drawing in 2008, the frames did not show on screen or in the plot. Is there a simple way to fix this, e.g., via a system variable?
I’m attaching a test drawing containing an example of said MLEADER. While not new, this is a new technique for us. BTW, the masking part seems to work, though it does not perfectly match the frame.

The MLEADER would provide the ultimate solution if you could alter the Background color like MTEXT by clicking the ... in the properties window.
You can now change this color through the Ribbon, placing this in the ribbon Autodesk. I can't seem to change the fit ratio of the background mask itself.
We have a MLEADER with a text box and a background mask that work together however the masking gap or size is not controllable to my knowledge.

How to change MTEXT to MLEADER? We often have texts on our drawing - mostly MTEXT and used line to the text.
Recently I started using MLEADER due to that it has added line to the text and looked more professional with consistent line setting out within the text.
The problem is that I don't seem to find a way of converting MTEXT to MLEADER. From the internet search, it seems that adding a LISP created by someone seems to do trick but I would prefer to do from the Autocad software so that all colleagues can use.

Is there anyway to bind a raster image to a drawing?
Everytime I bind/insert my title block the images dont bind in and also the file paths get deleted. Asked most of the drafters I know and everyone says it cant be done, which is what i think.
Normally I would use a CAD version of the Logos (for the client/architect,etc.) but sometime there isnt one available so have to use raster images.

Using ACAD LT 2009. Update 3.
I've tried some of the settings for the mleader text placement. I'm trying to get the text to sit on top of a horizontal line. And an angled leader from the horizontal line to the object I am describing, ending in a dot.
All this is working fine, the lines, dot, etc. It's set for straight, not spline. And max. 2 leader points. All works as I want here.
What isn't working well is the text placement. I am able to have the text be horizontal, this works. But I can't get it to have the text above the horizontal line. I can set the leader connection to underline top line, or underline bottom line, or underline all text. These 3 choices seem sort of retarded. The first two put the text right on the line with no space. Doesn't look good. The third choice puts the text a bit above the line, looks perfect, except that there is now an additional line below the horizontal leader line, and that looks dumb.
Am I missing something? Has this feature matured more in later versions?

I have cut sheets following my alignment. I would like the mleaders I place in model space to be at zero rotation when I go to the individual sheets. Works fine for text if I check the "Match text orientation to Layout" box, but not for the mleaders. Is there a setting I am missing?
