I want to know how to control the gap between the mtext and the leader when using the qleader command.
Also how to maintain the constant gap between the leader and the mtext irrespective of different annotation scales.
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.

using qleader and it defaults to subdimstyle "leader" how do change it?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an older drawing that was created by somebody else that is chock full of bad CAD. I have to add some leaders to some text and I'm using the "QLeader" command. For some odd reason when I implement "QLATTACH" it won't attach the leader to the text.
Yes, I could recreate the text with the Qleader command but I'm trying to avoid having to do that because there is a lot of text. I'm not a fan of the rigidness of Mleader either so that is not an option.
What the setting is to create a space between the leader line and the text.

View 5 Replies View RelatedUsing some slightly modified code from the samples provided by Autodesk as shown below I'm attempting to draw a simple leader with MText annotation.
In the attached bitmap the top leader shows the result of running the code and the bottom one the appearance I want which is obtained by changing the AutoCAD properties of the leader under
Text
Text pos vert
from 'Above' to 'Centered'
I can't identify anything in the API which allows me to draw with this change, but feel it should be there. Searching the web for code to draw leaders, basically only returns minor variations on this code with only the same functionality.

can you change the default Leader MTEXT to TEXT?? AutoCAD 2005.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have dragged station offset and multileaders next to each other in the drawing. Everything is set to go on the same layer. I am using named (stb) plot styles. The layer's lineweight is set to .25mm. However, I usually make the leaders be lighter in weight - .13mm. I am using text borders on both of these objects.
I can't get both the text and border to be the same in both objects unless I set everything to Bylayer. Given that I want lightweight leaders, and heavier text, this is unnacceptable.
It seems that the StaOff label style text and border weight in DRAGGED state are controlled by one lineweight setting.
In a multi leader, the text weight is always, apparently, Bylayer, and the text border is controlled by the lineweight set for the leader.

I am constantly having to change my leader settings.... every time I open AC. On the third tab, I want both of the "Multi-Line Text Attachments" to be set to the middle of the top line option. But for some reason, the Text on Left Side always defaults back to Middle of Bottom Line.
Is there a system variable or something that I'm missing?

When I reopen the Refine Edge window the settings from before are no longer there.

I want to add the leader part to the leader that is created when I drag a Station Offset label. This would be the part in a three point leader that goes horizontal for a short distance before the label text begins, similar to how a multi-leader is created. Looks weird having the C3D labels be the only "leadered" noted be without the landing.
How do I make the Qleader retain 3 vertices when I stretch the vertices? It's fine if I do not enter any text with the command and then create separate MText, but I'd like to use the command as it's written. However, if I start stretching the endpoints around on the screen, I will end up with extra vertices in the line, and I cannot get rid of them.

I don’t know is this a problem with a lispmy company has set up or whether it is an autoCAD error. When I go to create a leader I type LE withis short on my system for QLEADER. You can then draw your leader or entersettings One I have drawn the leader I go to placethe text the problem I then have is that sometime my text appears below theline (pic 1) and sometime appears next to the line (pic 2)

Why is this happening?
The dwg was fine, then it crashed while changing from modle space to paper space...
When i recovered the dwg, EVERY MTEXT I try to edit becomes rotated vertically and stays that way when i close the edit box...
I do not recall hitting any buttons or making any keystrokes without my knowing...
Is there a way to get my text back to Horizontal and stay that way?
I tried setting the MTEXTFIXED to: 0, 1 & 2.
NONE of these options changed anything.
I NEED to have this fixed. more importantly, i need to know why this is happening sop that i can take steps to prevent this happening in the future...
I am currently working with the latest CAD available.
I have numerous MText paragraphs that I need to combine into a single piece of MText. I want the paragraphs preserved in the final piece. I've found some routines that can combine pieces of MText but I don't know if they preserve the paragraphs.I have DotSoft Toolpac but it doesn't seem up to the task. C

View 7 Replies View RelatedOk, 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.
