I'm labeling using Mleader style but the text is not showing the way I want it (See pic attached).

I want the text to look like when I use qleader. I normally draw the leader using qleader with no text, then I manually add the text since always does not show the way I want it. The reason that I want to have it this way since we do the drawing at X scale then Eng. Dept. do theirs at Y scale and all the text with leader are way far apart.

Thanks

So by default, the text is coming in on an angle...and you want it at zero deg?

Are you in WCS? 

In MS?

In PS?

MS through a viewport?

See attached to correct the text orientation in your Mleader Style.

I have my drawing ucs set to WORLD, and dview 17 degree on Model and Paper space. What I would like is to have it to read horizontal all the time regardless of the dview angle.

Thanks.

I did that already and still does it.

Thanks.

If your placing these labels in Layout and the text is an annotative style & Match text orientation to layout is checked it will be horizontal.

If in model space, I'm not aware of a setting to accomplish what your after.

I guess mleader does not work well since it's holding true North and I'm labeling in MS when the dwg. is dviewed.

I guess my best option is changing manually the degree angle in the properties box to make it work.

I've had the same issue happen whenever I use DVIEW and leaders. I never use DVIEW because of this. If you use UCS>3 POINT>NEW then PLAN in your viewport you don't have to worry about the leaders not being horizontal. The other option is to use a C3D Note object. It'll always rotate and is annotative.

When using mleaders and view is not true north, switch UCS to VIEW and mleaders will come in horizontal to view.

That really works.

Thanks
