AutoCad :: Adding Text And Leaders To A Drawing

Apr 6, 2013

I was adding text and leaders to a drawing and after the text was entered I pushed the escape key. It then asked me if I want to save my text. It also had a check box asking me if I always want to perform that so it wouldn't keep popping up with that question. Well, I had checked that I didn't want the text and I also checked the box to always perform that answer. And now it won't save any text that I write. It just keeps the leader. How can I get the text to stay and undo the box that I checked to always answer that way (to not keep text)?

I am using autocad lt 2014 and have some multi leaders on a tool palette that work fine but if I hit enter or right click for enter the multi leader will use what ever leader is set from the multi leader style that is set on the multi leader style control, but only the leader will come in wrong the text will come in correct.

AutoCAD LT :: Change Space With Annotative Leaders?

Apr 13, 2012

Typically, I've mistakenly inserted some annotative leaders into a viewport modelspace instead of paperspace. Trying CHSPACE to bring them into PSpace makes them disappear - can't find them anywhere. Normal objects work fine.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Leaders In Dynamic Blocks

Sep 27, 2012

I created a dynamic block that contains a quick leader.  The problem I have is when I go to my layout views the leader in the block does not show up.  If I edit the block, change the layer of the leader and save it then the leader will show up in viewports.  Other parts of the block are on the same layer and show up, it is just the leader for some reason.

AutoCad 2D :: Keep Dimensions / Deleting Leaders And Comments

Mar 24, 2011

I do a lot of taking other peoples drawings and incorporate our portion of work onto theirs and often shrink the viewports to our sections alone. Their drawings often have information that we don't want on our drawings to insure we are not responsible for the work. Presently, they drew the detail in ms and annotation in ps (which i personally think is retarded).

I want to keep the dimensions but not the leaders and comments. Is there any way to delete all mtext and leaders quickly without deleting dimensions. Only think I can think of is highlight dimensions and convert them to ms via modify then go into ps and ctrl A and delete.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Text Box Cuts Off Leaders

Sep 13, 2012

We recently upgraded from Autodesk Inventor 11 to Autodesk Inventor 13. For some reason the text box cuts off any leader I try to put over it. I thought this might be a glitch on my machine at first till I realized that it would not work on any machine in our office. I must have clicked a wrong button or something when installing Autodesk Inventor 13 because it worked perfectly fine in Autodesk Inventor 11.

AutoCad :: Leaders Don't Display Correctly When Plotting

Sep 30, 2013

In one of the xref’s there is a linetype that I’m having trouble with (actually I’m not sure if it’s the linetype or a setvar that’s the problem). The line is a polyline. Linetype generation is turned on. LTscale is set correctly. The line is set to display the linetype by layer…not entity. Line weight is set to default. It has a global width of 0.333. Here’s the problem….In the main drawing, I have a layout which has leaders in paper space pointing to the line in the xref. They are touching the line where I want them. THEN…when I print the page….the leaders are no longer pointing to the line. They (the leaders) display correctly but can’t be printed as seen. Not to a PDF, not to a printed page. See below:

What I see....

RIGHT.jpg

What I get.....

WRONG.jpg

UPDATE: It looks like the problem is with the drawing that the xref is attached to....not the xref!

AutoCad :: Annotative Leaders Not Line Up Horizontally

May 30, 2013

I am working on a drawing where the annotation scale was 1:30 and I changed it to 1:40 and all my annotative leaders no longer line up horizontally (the little line just before the text....see attached example).

Is there a way of globally fixing this issue without having to fix each one independently?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Why Use Text Leaders In Cad Plans

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Label Positioning And Adjustable Leaders

Jul 9, 2013

I need labeling my alignment. Ive been trying to figure out a way to label my alignment in drawing with a 45° line that guides another line and text oriented by view that names the station and a setting that starts a count, like "COURVE 1, COURVE 2", from the start to the end of the alignment.  All on an adjustable length line, but all I got is fixed length lines, and I'm having overlapping problems when I have multiple horizontal geometry points or other points to label.

Dragging the labels upward pull the leader line component with them and they do not remain anchored to the structure. When I say leader, I am not referring to the dragged state as that creates a leade with a landing at an angle. When i use the grip in the alignment, it comes to an dragged state label, it doesn't fit the pattern I need. What I really want is a line component anchored to the alignment point even though I drag the "Line 2" and the text of the label upward or downward, while these are still oriented by the view.

AutoCAD LT :: Unable To Annotative Multi Leaders In Paperspace

Apr 14, 2009

I am using annotative multileaders in model space. When I view my layout drawing in paperspace, they are not there. The layer is not turned off or frozen, the layer is set to plot. When I turn off the annotative feature, then I can see them in paper space (and plot preview).

AutoCAD 2010 :: Paragraph Line Spacing For Leaders

Apr 16, 2013

The text that we're using for the majority of our notations doesn't look very good at 1.0x scale so I try and adjust the paragraph line spacing to 0.8x as I go. I also know that if I create MTEXT and adjust the paragraph line spacing at the prompt it will "stick". However it doesn't stick for leaders and there's no real way of creating a permanent setting, is there?

Slight inconvenience of adjusting that setting each time I create a leader.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Hatch Ignore Annotative Leaders?

Feb 26, 2013

Is there a way when creating hatches, for it to ignore annotative leaders? If the line of the leader crosses the area to be hatched, it breaks at the line. But if the arrow crosses the area, it totally freaks out and won't do what it's supposed to (usually inverses what is to be hatched.)

There REALLY needs to be an option to ignore mleader & mtext objects...

AutoCAD 2010 :: Move Arrow Tip Of Annotative Leaders

Nov 26, 2013

Is there a way to move the tip of the other scale's arrow of an annotative multileader in the model space ?

For exemple, I shifted this tree a little bit to the left. I have a multileader pointing to the middle of it to indicate the tree species. When selecting the multileader, I can use the little blue square to move the tip of the small arrow but how can I move the other one ? 

Since that multileader is pointing to other trees as well, I cannot move the whole thing.

I guess I could go to the paper space and into a viewport using that scale, but I need to do that quite often and I'm sure there should be an easier way.

AutoCad 2D :: Placing Diameter Leaders - Why Set Length For Leader

Aug 23, 2011

Autocad 2012

Part I :When I place a diameter/radius leader, it is a set length.I can move it all around the circle I'm dimensioning but the length of this leader is set. It is really short and it sucks to have to place the dimension then move it to where I want it as a second step.

Is there a setting that will allow me to drag this dimension where I want and make the leader as long as I desire?

Part II:In Autocad 2009, if you wanted to change a leader location,you could pick the text grip and it would move the end of the leader to that point then place the dimension from that point. Now picking the grip places the text and I have no control over the angle of the leader (our standards require leaders to always be a set angle from the object!)

AutoCAD 2013 :: Leaders Lost Vertices And Detached From Mtext

Jun 27, 2012

While working in a drawing, I noticed that my leaders looked a little odd.  They had ALL lost their verticies and upon further investigation I realized that the mtext is no longer attached to the leader (i.e. when you select text and grab the grip and move, the leader, text end, does not follow).  Start a new leader command, and all is well with the new leader and text but the old leaders remain disconnected. 

This is a new file originated in 2013.  Audit was 0.  Restarted AutoCad, checked a bak file and auto-save, no changes to mleader settings or attachments. I do no recall executing any out of the ordinary commands or changing settings.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Dragged Labels Leaders Not Pointing To Point

I have some points labeled with elevation only. If I drag the labels away from the point leaders are created but the arrows do not point to the centers of the points. I looked in the label style>dragged state>leaders but I don't see anyway to tell the leaders where to point.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Linework And Text But Not Blocks And Leaders - Greyed Out

Dec 11, 2013

When I draw new linework and text it shows up greyed out, even though it should be showing up full tone.  Curiously, blocks that are inserted on the same layer as the linework and text come in full tone.  

The attached image provides an example of what's happening (it's difficult to see the greyed out text reading "TEST", the leader, and a sawtooth section of polyline). 

More info:

Xrefed drawings are displayed at full tone.

Linework from earlier sessions are displayed at full tone - this is only affecting new work.

This happens only in this drawing.  

This happens on different sessions of C3D (i.e. different computers). 

This happens on when drawing on any layer.

The layers are unlocked.

This occurs in both model and paperspace. The drawing has been audited (no errors were found). Everything prints out properly. 

I suspect there's a variable that deals with visibility has been inadverdantly changed in this particular drawing.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Adjustable Length Leaders On Structure Labels In Profile

Aug 12, 2012

Any way to label my structures in profile with a vertical line that shows the structure ID, Station number, invert data, etc. all on an adjustable length line. Ive got it worked out for how to show it on a  fixed length line, but the problem is when you have multiple structures in close proximity the labels tend to overlap. Dragging the labels upward pull the leader line compnent with them and they do not remain anchored to the structure. When I say leader, I am not referring to the dragged state as that creates a leade with a landing at an angle. What I really want is a line component that stay perfectly vertical and remains anchored to the structure insertion point even though I drag the text of the label upward. Is there a way to do this? Seaching the internet and reviewing ym texts has yet to yield an answer.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Removing Leaders From Individual Dragged Point Elevations?

Aug 9, 2010

I'd like to turn off the leader for individual points that have had a component dragged.  For most points, I need the leader, but for others, it's just in the way.  I'm beginning to think that I have to make a whole new label style in which the leader for dragged components is made invisible.
