Point Labels

[PaulS00]

When doing point labels, I want to be able to drag the label with the leader just like how a multi-leader would behave. I've messed around with the point label style and can't figure how to make it work, if it is even possible.

 

Does AutoCAD use some sort of stored object for the leaders that can be edited? The leaders for multi-leaders can be fully manipulated, but not the leaders for point labels in drag state.

 

Thoughts?

 

Thanks

*IF YOU GOT AutoCAD points:

1) Draw the geometry for the label [style-point + liders]

2) DEFINE ATTRIBUTES: _attdef OR atrdef

- select OBJETS>POINT>POSITION

3) Create a block [select all [points+lines+attr]]

-open BLOCK EDITOR & SET UP ALL PARAMETRES POINTS[twice]+STRECH

4) insert block into AutoCAD points

*IF YOU COGO points:

1) Draw the geometry for the label [style-point + liders]

2) Create a block [select ONLY the COGO point] > to be able to select position as ATTRIBUTE

....NOW GONNA BE THE SAME

3) DEFINE ATTRIBUTES: _attdef OR atrdef

- select OBJETS>POINT>POSITION

4) Create a block [select all [points+lines+attr]]

-open BLOCK EDITOR & SET UP ALL PARAMETRES POINTS[twice]+STRECH

5) insert block into AutoCAD points

*** finally you have to find a script like: MILTYCOPY or MULTYINSERT to be able to labelling all your points into your DWG [selecting all point in the drawing area].

Will this work in Civil 3D?

If you are using 2011 you are out of luck. In 2012+ there is an independant Label Rotation Property.

 

In 2011, the leader tail will always be 90° to the view that you have. It is stupid and terrible to work around.

 

You could have dragged state set to stacked text. But then it wont have the rotation.

 

OR

 

You could set the Leader Size to 0.00 and have no landing. Looks terrible.

We're using 2013

If you were here right now I would buy you a 12 pack of your choice! THANKS!!!

 

Here's another one for ya....

 

How do I get rid of the gap between the leader and the point?

Edit your Point Style. Under the Summary tab > Marker > Leader stops at marker > Change this to 'No'
