Hello all, I have a few questions. When dealing with AECC_COGO_POINTs (ie a point representing a 12” Tree) I know the following:
The problem I have is, one can “fix the size” (make static) the point symbol, but unless I’m missing something the point labels are always dynamic. What happens a lot here is a drawing that was drafted for a 1”=20’ scale is often used in an exhibit that is at a larger scale. All of the points stay at the “fixed” scale but the labels enlarge to the MVIEW scale factor.
Is there a way to “fix” point label scales?
How are others dealing with this?
Is exploding the points my only option?
If exploding is the most efficient way of dealing with this does anyone have a lisp routine that would do the following?
a. (if (setq C3DOBJ (ssget "X" '((0 . "AECC_COGO_POINT*"))))
a. Dropping them to a block
a. Separating the symbol from the label
b. Dropping label blocks to mtext

Allen, I'm going to accept your solution as "the solution". I just hate the fact that "as composed" causes leader issues. I believe I will be taking care of those issues by creating a left and right drag state label since I don't like the 180 degree rotate work around.
Unless, you care to enlighten me more about this?
Thanks a bunch!

No. In those cased I usually just drag the leader to make it look right or turn it off in the properties box.
Glad things are working out for you.

Well, depending on the point itself, you can get the same "As Composed" label to left and right justify.

And here is my write up on the text that doesn't scale topic that has already been answered (just adding more info, that's all).
