AutoCad 2D :: Creating Leader With User Defined Arrowhead
Nov 22, 2013
I am able to create my own leader style, a loop, similar to the "dot blank" option that ACAD provides.
However, as with any leader style, once you pick the starting point of your leader you must extend it a certain length in order for the arrow, dot, slash, etc. to appear. This is a draw back in tight spaces where you are trying to fit the leader and the subsequent text.
Basically I would like to know if there is a setting that will allow me to pick the starting point of the leader and have the shortest length of leader line while still showing the "arrowhead".
I realize I can scale down the arrowhead type to give me more space. I realize I can explode the leader and shorten the line portion of the leader. I realize I can create a block of a "leader" that will give the appearance that I am looking for.
However, these are last ditch options if there is no solution.

I have a lisp program that creates a arch leader with a arrowhead on the end. All of a sudden the arrowhead does not appear on the end of the leader but out on space. Not sure what this is happening.

Whenever I tag an item the end of the leaderhead like the dot or the arrow finds a point and sticks to it even if that is not where I want to point. Is there anyway to move or override this point location?

Is there a way to change the leader arrowhead size without changing the dimension arrow/tick size?

The act of opening the CHM file is no problem from VBA. However, this particular routine does not use a dialog box, only a "select objects" prompt. I want to allow the user to press "F1" or "'HELP" at this point and have it open my CHM file.
In lisp, you can use (setfunhelp) to do this.
So in theory, if the VBA sub is called like this:
(defun c:foo ()(vl-vbaload "c:/program files/
directory>/sample/vba/drawline.dvb"))
...then the lisp function should work, but it doesn't. Pressing "F1" or "'HELP" during the vba routine, simply opens the AutoCAD HELP to the default page.

I have a drawing from an architect, and they have used a user defined hatch pattern. But I cannot use it. I can find it's name, it shows up in properties and in the hatch tools. But it isn't in any *.pat files and I can't copy it into my tool palettes. where I could find it, it shows up just fine in the drawing, but I can't figure out how to use it in other areas, not even within the same drawing.

I need to loop through the user defined properties and create a list. I can create the lost but I can't find a way of looping through the defined properties. I can get property values but only if I know the name.
I need to loop through without knowing the UD name. Is there a way to recursively loop through all of the user defined properties?

I'm trying to add user defined properties to parcels, and then apply various styles to control shading of parcels, and to display some or all of the user defined data, as applicable depending on the values of that data.
I have managed to create a user defined category within my [User-Defined Property Classification] and then create categories within that classification.
The problem I'm having is that I want to be able to see those classifications in prospector so that I can sort based on those values, and then batch assign styles. How to display the classifications.

So - user defined properties for points are great. My only problem is that I can't copy and paste them between drawings without losing the user defined properties. I've tried it in both c3d 2011 and 2013.
I can export them into a user defined point file and import them into another drawing the same way, but that is more cumbersome than just copying and pasting.

I have created a MANHOLE UDP which defines inverts in & out etc as well pipe types and sizes. Is there a way to automatically generate a polyline or feature line which picks up the invertout to invert in of the next manhole by point number? hope that makes sense! I am using Civil3D 2012.

I have defined 3 user-defined contours for various elevations in my pond. I would like to disply them differently from one another, so I set their display styles in the analysis window where I created them. Unfortunately, the are only displayed per the settings in the surface style which is 1 - not what I want and 2 - all identitical. I have tried various settings in the surface style, but the contours will not display the way I have selected in the analysis window.

Here at work we are have one computer that has some user defined coordinate systems on it, and we are needing to place these coordinate system files onto another computer so we can project some of our drawing files correctly.
What do we need to do in order to move these files from one computer to the next? What do we need to export?

I am having some trouble with hatch patterns. We are using FM Systems as our CAFM tool and there is a plugin for it within AutoCAD. The plugin allows you to create hatch patterns for things such as departments and space types. Right now this is working perfectly within AutoCAD 2012. However, when I try to run the routine within AutoCAD 2014, the only hatches that show up are the solid ones. In other words, any pattern that is not a solid pattern does not show up. I tried comparing all of the Hatch System Variables between 2012 and 2014, but still get the same thing.

Possible to use a block, such as a hex or circle with a number centered, instead of the out of the box number with a period? I have Key Notes that need numbers with a hex, and Construction notes, that need numbers in a circle. I can label these items with multileaders with a user defined block, but when I type out the notes using mtext, I want to use the exact same blocks to number the notes that correspond with my multileader label. I have been manually inserting blocks along side of my un-numbered mtext notes.

I am trying to write a script to do the following.
For each (cogo point in drawing)
{
If (Raw description == THISCODE*)
{
Replace THISCODE with User defined attribute 1
}
applyDescriptionKey()
}
I am running Civil 3D 2013. Having read through a few of your other threads I noticed that applyDescriptionKey() is 2013 specific.

I am trying to make an iPart of a fitting where I can change the "Body type" and it will change all the parameters associated with that body type through iLogic. Really I am just playing around in iLogic to see if this is something worth learning. Back to the point, I would like to change a multi-value user text parameter through the iPart table but I cannot find the paramter in the parameters tab.
Since it is a user parameter I thought it would be in the "Other" folder but it isn't. I do however have the other multi-value user number parameter in that folder, which makes me think that maybe I can't use the paramter in the iParts table?

I have created various symbols to be placed into drawings when required, rather than having to re-create the same sketch every time the drawing is produced.
When I place the symbol I am given the option to select where to insert it, based on the insertion point. The problem is... once the symbol is placed there is no way (that I can figure out) to constrain to the view or dimension to it.

I've some user-defined iProperties in my idw-file. As soon as I set the file to "read-only" (via explorer RMB->properties) these iProperties are not shown on the drawing sheet when i open the drawing. ow to abandon this effect?

After saving a part from libary as 'user-defined' to edit it, it still appears with the symbol for 'standard part' (blue T): Means I cannot move it around to sort the parts in the 'tree' or from a folder to another and so on.
Open the part and it has a normal component part symbol. But still not in the assembly. I sometimes cannot change properties in the parts list. The name is different from the name in the folder (pictures).
Second thing: Using 'copy' to copy a assembly into a new folder, the user-defined part still behaves like a standard part and will not be copied as a normal part. - Not exactly what I need, when I make a part 'user defined'...

I'm using C3D 2011.
I have made Property clasification for importing attribute imformation from an ascii file.
In the drawing all the information show up.
However, importing the survey point into the survey database, I loses the property classification attributes.
How do you add user defined property classification to the survey database?

Just upgraded from Civil 3D 2010 32-bit to Civil 3D 2011 64-bit. Over the years several user-defined color books were constructed using the Autocad Color Book Editor. With previous upgrades, these ACB files were simply transferred to the new version and worked OK. However, having upgraded to 2011, when the color books are opened, instead of the original colors, the color pages are corrupted, showing what look like Pantone red, green, and blue colors.

I am displaying stationing for my points, the points were brought in with a user defined classification. Then a table was created with the classification.
Base file- table looks good / when I xref the table it loses the station formatting.
I even tried importing all my user defined tables and styles and still didnt work
