biffish Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 So, we just got 2009 and my quick leader isn't there anymore. Does anyone know where it went or if they got rid of it??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOB'27T Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Yep, quick leader is still there in '09. Just curious, why not use multileader? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biffish Posted October 9, 2008 Author Share Posted October 9, 2008 Do you know how I can get the button back because I can't find it? I've been having to copy and paste text/leaders and it's becoming a real pain since I have to change the layers. I'm not sure...I've never used multi leader, always quick leader. Are there any benefits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOB'27T Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I like to use multileader because the leader follows the text better than a standard leader. Also the text is MTEXT, which is obviously more versatile. As far as finding the button for qleader, that I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustysilo Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I just type Q for quick leader. It's faster than looking for a button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biffish Posted October 9, 2008 Author Share Posted October 9, 2008 Awesome! I didn't know Q was the shortcut for quick leader! I type almost all of my commands in anyways. I usually hate the buttons. Thanks Bob'27T, I'll have to try that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rustysilo Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Check your acad.pgp file. They might have changed it... Or maybe I did on mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpriedel Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Just rightclick on an empty space that is not covered with Toolbars. Go to "Customize...". Find your Quickleader and drag and drop it into a pallet you want it in. Apply and close the window. Voila! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustysilo Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I have recently begun using the multileaders and I must say they are far superior to using qleaders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOB'27T Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I quit using qleader altogether. Multileader is much easier to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOB'27T Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Bob are you in engineering or survey? I'm in engineering, although I do surveying from time to time when we have elevations that are wrong from the survey firm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpriedel Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Mmmhh looks like I have to look into using Multileaders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustysilo Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I'm in engineering' date=' although I do surveying from time to time when we have elevations that are wrong from the survey firm.[/quote']Hehe. When our surveyors botch an elevation we call or email them and tell them to fix it. We do occasionally make field visits though for things that the surveyor may not have been contracted for or to have a look at something they couldn't get to. Just this past week one of our engineers had to go check out a couple of inlets that had concrete slabs over them instead of a grate. He went out with a piece of rebar to make an attempt to find the top of the pipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They reply with "you have no clue what it takes to do our job!" I feel drafters and surveyors should trade jobs for a week just to understand what each other deals with day in and day out.

rustysilo Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 That's hilarious. I'd tell 'em to suck it up and fix the survey that they were contracted to do. We have a city surveyor who seems to be like that. Get's defensive just when you ask him to do something that he should have done the first time around. Sorry Mr. Surveyor, but you were contracted for this job and it is expected to be done right. Sure, mistakes happen. People miss things sometimes. When you make a mistake, you make an effort to fix it. Can you imagine if an engineer had the same attitude? "Sorry about that manhole that is sticking up 5' out of the ground, but hey fix it yourself. You have no idea what it takes to do my job.":cry: You can almost hear the crickets playing their violins for such a person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GypsyQueen Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 hmm...."q" didn't work... last time I checked you type in Qleader. I stopped using quick leaders with 2009 and now use Multi leaders. I took some time to set them up the way I liked my quick leaders and I am so much happier now. Especially with annotation, annotative scaling, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardney Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 The actual shortcut for quickleader is LE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
