Leaders

I have a quick questions on leaders.

Recently, I have noticed that some quick leaders are detaching from the text that should be connected to it. Does anyone have a clue as to why this happens.

I am currently using Acad 2010, but have noticed it in previous versions as well.

Hope this makes since.

Thanks for any help.

Question for you...are you saving down to an older version like 2004 perhaps? If you are doing that and using the "multileader", that could be your problem. The solution is to use the old "leader", if that is what's happening. If not, I dunno.

I'm not saving down, but have noticed it more if someone using 2009 opens the drawing and then saves it.

Thanks Jack.

By detach, do you mean that the leader and text are now two seperate entities? If the leader line is moved, the text will not follow it. If the text is moved the leader comes along for the ride

Yes the leader and text are now two separate entities. When I move the text, the leader line does not move.

Hmmm. The only thing i can think of is QLDETACHSET... This command breaks the tie between leaders and text... Try QLATTACHSET to fix everything. Or QLATTACH for single instances. I think these are Express Tool commands though...

Do you use custom LISP routines? Sometimes they contain code that can do crazy things to a drawing

Thanks JP.

These work well. I still wander why this happens.

We have started using a couple custom LISP routines, but this was happening before we were using them.

Thanks again for your help.

I wish I could be more help. Good luck!
