how to set the overall scale of a multileader? I have set the .Scale property, but that seems to have done nothing.
MleaderStyle.Annotative = AnnotativeStates.False MleaderStyle.LeaderLineType = LeaderType.StraightLeader MleaderStyle.ArrowSize = Me.ArrowHeadSize MleaderStyle.BreakSize = Me.DimensionBreak MleaderStyle.DoglegLength =

I have a dwg template that has a Multileader Style that uses Annotative text. When I changed a viewport to a different scale....from 1"=1' to 3/4" =1', the text is not appearing to scale. It's very large. The Mtext changed to the correct scale but not the Multileader text. Where do I need to make a change?

Is there a setvar, setenv, registry entry etc. that can be used to change the scale of Multileaders with annotative off to have the same effect that DIMSCALE has on Q leaders? I want to have a single scale-independent Multileader style and modify it on the fly along with DIMSCALE and LTSCALE. I'd use Qleader but UCS's do odd things to text position and orientation.

View 3 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).
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.
One of the things about Mtext that I really like is to dynamically adjust the text box size. I don't seem to be able to do this when using the multileader with the Mtext. The Mtext when selected with the Multileader acts like the single line text where I have to manually insert returns.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI created a Multileader style in AutoCAD LT 2011 that worked pretty good. Basically a keynote callout with a tick on one end and a circle on the other end. After using AutoCAD LT 2012 it was noticed that there was a small dot in all the circles. It seems that if your Multileader type is set to "block", your source block is set to, whatever (triangle, circle, etc...), and most importantly, if your attachment is set to "Insertion Point", a very small dot is placed in the insertion point. It prints as well. When the same drawing is opened with AutoCAD LT 2011, the problem disappears.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI would like to try and set up a Multileader that reads the description of a block.
For example when I am making the block I would like to put some descriptive text that may say "Post top insert connected to haboe pin"
After the block is compelted and placed into a new drawing I would then select the multi leader option and then it would automtically fill in the text. (from the pre-defined description)
I would like it to be similar to a callout in solidworks.
I was under the impression that you could search mult ileader text with quick select, but 'contents' or some variant does not seem to be an option.
Tell me the easiest way to find a multileader with specific text (including the wildcard)? I expect it can be done with quick select or filter but can't get it happening.
somehow one of my colleges managed to explode all multileaders in several drawings. Is it possible to re-create a multileader from an MText and a Line? Editing the text and re-adjusting the lines consumes far too much time...

Select object then area. Now i have a leader with text. Can i extract the text to a table or spreadsheet. Or approach this differently. I use autocad lt 12
I am trying to circle one of the letters and each will receive a number sequence afterwards for the comm addresses (is what I want to do anyway). This is a gov project so I have to ensure everything is addressed properly.
Circling the prefix would make this look ideal but I don't know if there's a way to do it. I tried looking but couldn't find a way to do it.
The only way I could think to do it is do it manually with attdef and create a defined block with the prefix area already circled.
I have several multileaders and they appear reversed and also print that way.
So I tried to modify the `standard` text style (which they use) to be 'backward' and changed the font from truetype to shx. I see no change in the existing multileaders.
I'm fairly new to AutoCAD, and most certainly to the forum [URL]......
I have a question in regards to using Multileader text. Tolerance.jpg
The guy who used to work here made this text with a tolerance to a radius measurement. The tolerance is smaller ( no problem with that), but also adjusted to the top of the line.
I have the text style set to match text orientation to layout and it works, but when I use the same text style in mulitleader the text doesn't rotate with the layout 2013 Civil 3D
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have some new multi leader definitions using blocks, however I can only edit the attribute definition text individually, where if I had the same block as a standalone with a leader I could select as many blocks as I wanted and change the text via quick properties in one quick step. Is there a way to achieve this using a block as a base for a multileader?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to set the Multileader scale for DIMSCALE when it is on the tool palette like you are able to do with every other block? Maybe a lisp routine so set the Multileader style and to dimscale?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'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've created tags with text below them. The text is a multline attribute. I save the block with the background mask on.
When I add these blocks to multileader styles, that setting is lost and even after creating a multileader, editing the multiline attribute and turning the mask back on, the setting will not save for some reason.
One very noticeable affect of losing the background mask is that when one is editing the multiline attribute AutoCAD leaves the original text visible and overlaying the text that is updating. This makes it nearly impossible to see the edits one is making. One has to set the background mask every time they edit that multileader if they need to change the text in the mutliline attribute.
Using AutoCAD LT 2010.
At a multileader when "automatically include landing" is set to "NO" or unchecked, then a small point (like that at the end of a dimension line) is inserted in the callout block, such as the circle, which then prints. This makes for less than clean drafting to say the least--is this normal? If so, (why?!), is there any way to NOT have those points print/show up?

Seems to do it for anything that is not left aligned. I think it was present in 2013 as well. I use multileaders for annotations a lot since it is easier to use them with the background masks and borders than mtexts.
I am having issues with an Annotative Multileader skewing at different scales. It was inserted at 3/16" (1st Image) scale and when I add a 1/4" (2nd Image) scale it becomes skewed at that scale (3rd Image the leader is highlighted to show what it looks like).

I'm looking for a way to convert leader and text that is separate into a multileader where the text is attached to the leader. We just updated to new standards using the multileader and all the old stuff is not attached.
I'm using AutoCad 2009.
When I try to create a multileader the text size is throwing me off. I draw the arrowhead location and landing with no problem, then the text box pops up. As I am typing the text into the textbox it shows up on the screen as if it was a text height of about 5, however it is actually 0.18. As soon as I click off the text box to complete the multileader the text shrinks down to the actual size of 0.18.
I want the height to be 5 but when I change it to 5 the text box shows up as huge, like it is about 200 or something even though it is actual 5. The textbox takes up most of the screen, as soon as I click of the text box to complete the multileader it shows up as a normal height of 5 and looks correct. This is so annoying. Multileader is the only tool that does this. A simple multiline text box works fine; as I am entering the text it is the same size the entire time, visually and actually.
I can't find a 'background mask' on/off toggle in the 'Multileader Style Manager' in AutoCAD 2013. In the 'Dimension Style Manager' you can easily add a background to dimension text in there but it doesn't seem to be an option for a multileader style. Did AutoCAD actually miss this?!? If so that is a huge inconsistency. I want to have a multileader style preset in a template with the background text masks on. I hope it's not something that a user needs to go and first do their multileader, then afterwards have to go and manually turn the mask on via the properties pane.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have just updated to Autocad 2013. While working on existing drawings (previously created in V2012), I am having issues with the SCALE command. Most times, but not always, when I add a line or block, with a base point on an existing line or object and try to scale it, I get an "extremely small scale factor ignored" message, although I did not get a chance to enter a scale factor. While it appears most times, but not always, if I draw a new line in empty space on that same drawing, I am able to use the SCALE command without problems. I also have the same issue when trying to scale an existing line or block, most times but not always.
Here is a copy of the command line while I am trying to make it work:
Command: l
LINE
Specify first point:
Specify next point or [Undo]: 100
Specify next point or [Undo]:
Command: sc
SCALE
Select objects: 1 found
Select objects:
Specify base point:
Specify scale factor or [Copy/Reference]:
Extremely small scale factor ignored.
Command:
SCALE
Select objects: Specify opposite corner: 1 found
Select objects: Specify opposite corner: 1 found, 2 total
Select objects:
Specify base point:
Specify scale factor or [Copy/Reference]:
Extremely small scale factor ignored.
If you notice, it does not give me the chance to enter a scale factor. As soon as I pick the base point, it skips over to the error message, yet displays the scale factor prompt with a blank factor. I'm experiencing this issue on various files (not all but most), so I don't think it is a corrupt file. Why I get this and if I can correct it?
