masterfal Posted September 12, 2016 Posted September 12, 2016 Hi All, Just wondering if anyone knows if its possible to fix multileaders so that the 'landing' line can be extended properly? easier to explain with pictures.. see below pic 1 - all good when leader comes from this direction pic 2 - i don't like it like this.. pic 3 - i would like it to be like this if possible Quote
Dadgad Posted September 12, 2016 Posted September 12, 2016 There was another Multileader thread within the last month or so, which may shed some light on this. Quote
rkmcswain Posted September 12, 2016 Posted September 12, 2016 What version of AutoCAD are you using? See this: http://ltunlimited.typepad.com/my_weblog/2011/04/extend-leader-to-text.html Quote
Handiman Posted September 12, 2016 Posted September 12, 2016 You can set it up in your "Multileader Style Manager" or on a single leader by selecting the multileader and in "Properties" look for- "Leaders" and Horizontal Landing, Landing Distance and then under "Text" look for- Justify, Attachment Type, Left Attachment and Right Attachment. Good Luck Quote
rkent Posted September 12, 2016 Posted September 12, 2016 In the mleader style editor, Content tab, lowest choice shown is 'Extend leader to text', the box is probably blank so pick in that so a check is displayed. Quote

rkent Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 I forgot to look at the version you are on, yes that option was added not long ago, IIRC. Quote
rkmcswain Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 I'm pretty sure this was added in 2012. Quote
rkent Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 I'm pretty sure this was added in 2012. Yep, 2012, good memory there. Quote
masterfal Posted September 14, 2016 Author Posted September 14, 2016 my bad.. oh 2012.. so close! haha oh well. cheers for the info guys Quote
jt6572 Posted November 4, 2016 Posted November 4, 2016 i know this is not an overall solution, but in the meantime, can you not just use the properties manager to highlight individual leaders and have Leader Extension set to 'yes'? photobucket is down at the moment so i cant post a pic sorry, but maybe this helps if you are manually drawing a line instead?
