Multileaders in Twisted Viewport

[rustysilo]

I have just recently begun toying with multileaders and I'm wondering how the heck can one set the mleader style up so that the multileaders and their respective text will rotate properly in a viewport that has been dview twisted?

 

I've been playing with my mleader style and can't figure this out.

UCS > View... then place the mleader

UCS > Previous (or World)

 

if you add this to your acaddoc.lsp it simplifies things

(defun c:uw ()(command "ucs" "w"))
(defun c:uv ()(command "ucs" "v"))
(defun c:up ()(command "ucs" "p"))

What does that code do? Just create shortcuts for it?

[rustysilo]

There wouldn't happen to be a way to add the text box around these like you can with Civil 3D labels would there?

[lpseifert]

Yes, but you probably won't like it... no way to adjust the offset

[rustysilo]

Bleah! Were the programmers high when they compiled that part of the software? That sucks.

I guess I'll manually add boxes. Like the rounded rectangles for them anyway.

I have had the same problem with the mleader being rotated but this post gave me an idea for a lisp which I have tried and the only bug with it is that if you cancel the command before you type your text the ucs remains at "v". easy fix tho (ucs w). anyways.. here it is:

 

(defun c:MLST ()(command "cmleaderstyle""stnd")
                 (command "ucs""v")
                 (initcommandversion 2)
                 (command "mleader" pause pause)
                 (command "ucs""w")
                 (prin1))

 

For those that have your own style just change it to (command "cmleaderstyle""yourstyle"). If you really dont care or use the cad default styles why couldnt you do something like:

 

(defun c:MLST ()(command "ucs""v")
                 (initcommandversion 2)
                 (command "mleader" pause pause)
                 (command "ucs""w")
                 (prin1))[/

 

Works great for me
