ARROW LEADER CONVERT TO LOOP LEADER???

[Anonymous]

Is there a way to have the Arrow leader convert to Loop leader in one click.
Our company standards use diamond tags and sometimes i have to change the arrow to loop by inserting a leader.

Thanks

Or better yet, post a "small drawing" - preferably zipped - as was requested.

Please post a .png next time (they are much smaller.)

I attached three kinds of leaders that we use. I hope I did it right because
this is my first time attaching a picture.

It is a bmp file.

Thanks

Yes, thanks!

I don't know how or why your existing dot & loop arrows are doing it, but
the ArrowheadSize fro these is 3/64", but a normal arrow is 1/8". These 2
lisps address specifically these differing sizes:

(defun c:swapdot (/ ent obj)
(vl-load-com)
(princ "\nSelect leader: ")
(if (setq ent (ssget ":S" '((0 . "LEADER"))))
(progn
(setq obj (vlax-ename->vla-object (ssname ent 0)))
(if (= (vla-get-arrowheadtype obj) acArrowDefault)
(progn
(vla-put-arrowheadtype obj acArrowDot)
(vla-put-arrowheadsize obj (/ 3.0 64.0))
)
(progn
(vla-put-arrowheadtype obj acArrowDefault)
(vla-put-arrowheadsize obj (/ 1.0 8.0))
)
)
)
)
(princ)
)

(defun c:swaploop (/ ent obj)
(vl-load-com)
(princ "\nSelect leader: ")
(if (setq ent (ssget ":S" '((0 . "LEADER"))))
(progn
(setq obj (vlax-ename->vla-object (ssname ent 0)))
(if (= (vla-get-arrowheadtype obj) acArrowDefault)
(progn
(vla-put-arrowheadblock obj "loop")
(vla-put-arrowheadsize obj (/ 3.0 64.0))
)
(progn
(vla-put-arrowheadblock obj "")
(vla-put-arrowheadsize obj (/ 1.0 8.0))
)
)
)
)
(princ)
)

I will keep this routine so maybe I can figure out something out of this.

Thanks for all

Okay... I lied.

Why not just use the MATCH PROPERTIES button?? (NOW I'm done)

I wanted to try this routine but what does the "smily frustrated" in code represent?

It represents a colon followed by a capital S.  See:

for a translator, and instructions on how to turn colon-triggered emoticons off when you're signed in.

Thank you Kent.

[caddmandew]

It works, yeah.   Here is what happen though...

If the leader is a dot leader and I run the SwapLoop.lsp it turns the leader to a typical closed fill arrow then I select it a second time and it switches to a loop.  Do you know why? and can the code me revide to eliminate that step?

Thanks

Jim

[caddmandew]

OK I have another question...  Is there a way to make this work with Mleaders?

Thanks in advance
