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.

Ever since updating to the latest service pack I can no longer copy and paste leaders inside a drawing.
I used to be able to set up the leader I wanted and then copy and paste to all the parts I wanted to assign it to but I can't paste anymore.
I am using the iproperties data within the text box..
Inventor 2013
Is there a way to have the Arrow leader convert to Loop leader in one click. Our company standards use diamond tags and sometimes i have to change the arrow to loop by inserting a leader.

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.
When I use qleader with mtext annotation , The arrow and texts are inserted as two unit. I can rember there was a facility to use this two objects as a one unit.
View 3 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.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI would like to add a Leader Text to lable a part- referencing the Part Number or whatever, move the text close to the edge of the part, to remove the leader/arrow and make the txt rotate 90deg to be vertical. I have messed with style settings for a new Vertical Txt style, and Vert Dim style -(pointed to the Vert Txt style and adjusted Notes and Leaders tab)
i don't understand why in the Format Text window the "rotation" box is always grayed out. can you unlock it?
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.
can you change the default Leader MTEXT to TEXT?? AutoCAD 2005.

2.) How to delete objects (leader or line or text) from many layouts. I can select by filter command from all the layouts but, when you delete it deletes only from the current layout.
I 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 have a leader with a block for signs that we use on our road schemes. I cannot access the attribute information on the block without exploding the leader with the block. The problem is that although I can then access the attribute information the leader is then broken and is only a line and a hatch arrow. Is there another way to do this?

I have a dynamic block that I want to be added to a leader style. When I create the style and draw a leader I don't have access to the dynamic block functionality. Is there a way to restore this functionality without exploding the leader?
View 5 Replies View RelatedIs it true that you can't attach an Annotative Block to a MultiLeader?This is the message that I got when trying: "Specify leader arrowhead location or [leader Landing first/Content

It's unfortunate because I would like the block to show up Annotative in my Legend, and then again to the proper scale with the Multi Leader
I have gotten in the habit of using a leader text with a custom iproperty to do material call outs on my drawings. I have been doing the first one then copy/pasting the leader onto each piece i want to call out.
This worked flawlessly in 2010 and has worked well previously in 2012. For some reason it is not working at all in this particular .idw.
work flow is to create the first instance, copy. right click outside the view border and select paste. Then attach to as many different parts as needed.
attached is the error message I get.
The custom iproperty is text. 1/2 a36 or 4x4x3/8 Angle
I have a road construction ahead sign where I have hatched the background orange (color 30) as a mask since I am using an air photo for the drawing background. The block is fine until I try to use it in a multi leader, then the hatch color switches to block and I can't read the text. The block was created on the same layer as it is inserted. How do I get the orange hatch to show as orange in the multi leader block? See the attached screen shot.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a multileader with attributed labels in a block, see included png file. The attributes are indicated by the rectangled text. As you can see the block looks fine, but the leader attaches itself to the insertion point of the block. I want the leader to justify automatically left or right, depending on the drag position of the block. One thing I noticed is that if the block contains an odd number of text lines the leader will automatically self justify. An even number of text line produces what I have here.

View 8 Replies View Relatedi have a dynamic block that my firm has been using. we're updating our dimstyles - and our new leader is a custom (close to open 30 but with heavy accents).
anyway - i'm a little new and vague as how to change the leader within the dynamic block. i fiddled with it several times - but with no success.
I am trying to make dynamic blocks to show reinforced slab bars detail. Attached herewith is a dynamic block which shows the bars. Now i want to attach a leader to the block (having framed text) whose text values may vary from a, b, c, d, to say k. Is there anyway by which is can have the preset values that can be picked from a pull down menu.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if it would be possible to convert an existing block to a leader that uses the same block with the arrow attached without losing the information which is stored inside the block attributes.
I have created the multi leader with the block definition attached but I'm still struggling to incorporate the data into it.
There are to many blocks to do this manually. I have exported the data to a excel but do not know how to insert it back into to multi leader.
I am trying to create a leader that reads the block "name" and then places it into circle, or square at the end of a leader.
I see it in the "other" programs but I have plain ole Autocad.
Should be simple enough except my brain is locked in the clouds and im spinning around in circles.
Which may not be a bad thing, except NASCAR hasnt started yet.

I designed a dynamic block to represent the profile of boreholes, and its different layers (depths, in profile) are linked to the respective description text by a leader.
Problem is when I flip the text with its leader, the tip of the arrow loses contact with the borehole. And as I flip more times, the further it gets from its original position.
I am looking to modify a block count lisp, the lisp counts the blocks and displays them in the command line. I am looking to take that list and insert it in to a leader.
So it will prompt me to select blocks.
1st Point of leader
2nd point of leader
and would generate the block list in the leader annotation.
Is there a way to attached an already exisiting placed block to a leader. If so, is there a way to do it to all the existing blocks, that are of the same block definintion, at once?

I have tried
myObjRef.UpgradeOpen()
For i = 0 TomyObjRef.NumVertices - 1
Dim MyVertex AsNewGeometry.Point3d(myObjRef.VertexAt(i).X, _
myObjRef.VertexAt(i).Y, _
0.0)
myObjRef.SetVertexAt(i, MyVertex)
Next
I had expected properties like StartPoint LastVertex to be updated.
Sometimes I can snap to leader lines, sometimes ACAD will not let me. Right now I can only snap to endpoints of leaders, nothing else.
Even if I type mid or int it will only snap to the endpoint.

I just upgraded to AutoCAD Lt 2012. In the settings, I was able to figure out how to automatically get a landing line and how long I want it to be. But! When I draw the leader to left of center, it puts the landing on the left side of the line. How can I turn that auto-directional thing off?
