Border/Leader/Mtext Lineweight: StationOffset Label vs. Multileader

[d_reno]

I have dragged station offset and multileaders next to each other in the drawing. Everything is set to go on the same layer. I am using named (stb) plot styles. The layer's lineweight is set to .25mm. However, I usually make the leaders be lighter in weight - .13mm. I am using text borders on both of these objects.

I can't get both the text and border to be the same in both objects unless I set everything to Bylayer. Given that I want lightweight leaders, and heavier text, this is unnacceptable.

It seems that the StaOff label style text and border weight in DRAGGED state are controlled by one lineweight setting.

In a multi leader, the text weight is always, apparently, Bylayer, and the text border is controlled by the lineweight set for the leader.

Does anyone know how I can get this to work? It is a fairly minor detail, but a truly professional looking set of plans wouldn't have this going on.

the color of the text in each component can be set inside the editor seperate from the leader color.

which would work except that we use named plotting styles ...

thanks!

Hey,

Did you ever get this problem resolved? I have leader lines that I can't seem to change the weight of.. I'm using style based and set the leader line to 0.008 with no effect... it's layer is also .008.. I had it using bylayer at first. It looks to be using 0.031, which looks horrible nect to the .008 text it's pointing too.  I have the same issue with my curve station labels for the PC/PT.. the lines that go with those labels are too heavy as will.  I've check all the settings I can think to check.

I never heard back from anyone on this so I thought I'd ask again.

I've discovered since my last post that my leaders and lines are using the weight from the object layer it's on.. completely ignoring the settings in the style.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Not sure how to fix your problem but if you used true type fonts you can set the layer to a small lineweight (for your leaders); the text will stay bold as per the TTF font.
