blackmetal19 Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Hello all, I have searched everywhere for a solution here and cant find anything. When I try to create a multileader the text size is throwing me off. I draw the arrowhead location and landing with no problem, then the text box pops up. As I am typing the text into the textbox it shows up on the screen as if it was a text height of about 5, however it is actually 0.18. As soon as I click off the text box to complete the multileader the text shrinks down to the actual size of 0.18. I want the height to be 5 but when I change it to 5 the text box shows up as huge, like it is about 200 or something even though it is actual 5. The textbox takes up most of the screen, as soon as I click of the text box to complete the multileader it shows up as a normal height of 5 and looks correct. This is so annoying. Multileader is the only tool that does this. A simple multiline text box works fine; as I am entering the text it is the same size the entire time, visually and actually. Any suggestions here, am I missing something???? Quote

Murph_map Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Look at the MTEXTFIXED settings also. Quote
blackmetal19 Posted February 11, 2011 Author Posted February 11, 2011 What does MLEADERSCALE =? Try MLEADERSCALE = 1 MLEADERSCALE is set to 0, when I try to set it to 1 it says that value is invalid Quote
blackmetal19 Posted February 11, 2011 Author Posted February 11, 2011 Look at the MTEXTFIXED settings also. It is set at 2 Quote
blackmetal19 Posted February 11, 2011 Author Posted February 11, 2011 I was able to figure it out. I went into the Multileader Style Manager and adjusted the text height to the size I wanted. Now it appears correctly the entire time. I think AutoDesk messed this tool up when they made it, it should not act the way it does! Thanks for the help guys! Quote

blackmetal19 Posted February 11, 2011 Author Posted February 11, 2011 Works OK for me. Are you using AutoCAD 2011? I had to change the text height manually in the setup for it to not act crazy. Quote
