Noahma Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I have been drawing them. I just found the nifty tool in Architecture 08 to make them though. might be using that for now on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teodorconstantinescu Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 thanks all for ur reply. but i have create WS using dynamic block by my self. How would I make them annotative (leader plus symbols)? I tried to make a simple block out of a leader plus the welding symbol and checked the "Annotative" option. It works. After I insert the block where I want it I have to explode it in order to edit the text, but by doing so its annotative attribute vanishes. How can I obtain the annotative behavior for a leader+additional symbols and still be able to edit its text? Thank you in advance for any help.

You can assign an attribute as your text item, and the block will prompt you for a text value, numeric or otherwise, as the block is inserted. There is no need to edit the text then. The attribute value can also be changed later, after the block is in place. I am not an expert in block attributes, so I don't want to try and explain how to do it here. I'd have to go and figure it out for myself first. As a point of information, you will get quicker responses if you start a new thread for your questions, rather than resurrecting a thread that is seven years old.

teodorconstantinescu Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Thank you for the quick reply. Yes, meanwhile I have discovered attributes. I still don't figure out how to make the leader landing to follow the length of the text attribute (providing I am using the "Underline top line" or "Underline bottom line" option for the leader style). For now, what I came up with is set the length of the landing to a certain value (so that it underlines the longest text ever to be entered, for instance "cont." which is short for "all around" in Romanian) and have the landing stick out for shorter text like two or three digit numbers. Cheers for any suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teodorconstantinescu Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Figured it out. I added a grip that stretches the leader landing after I edit the text and I know its length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
