Line reference "User Block"

[rday]

I want to define my own block for the line referencing. How do I do this?I have found the "User Block" radio button under Format Referencing/ Setup but where/how do I point to my block?

Thanks,
Robert

Any one have a clue where I can find this at?

This goes way back to the origins of the product a decade or more ago. Open
up in AutoCAD the "user" line reference symbol wd_mlrhx.dwg (or wd_mlrvx.dwg
for line references along a sideways ladder). This symbol should be in your
symbol library folder (ex: the "jic125" library or the "iec2" library). The
shape of the symbol, the hexagon, needs to be a block insert called
aw_mlr_user. It is inserted right into this library symbol, so you end up
with it "nested" when it is finally inserted into your drawing as the first
line reference number for a ladder. If you want to change the shape/side
then redefine this block. This nested block is what gets copied down to the
2nd+ instances of a line reference on a ladder and the SHEET and RUNGFIRST
attdefs provide templates for TEXT entities inserted on the 2nd+ instances.
You'll see the ATTDEFS of the master line reference on this library symbol
as well. Adjust text placement and such as you see fit. You can get rid of
the "SHEET" attribute if your line reference representations are not going
to show this sheet assignment. Save your modified version of wd_mlrhx.dwg
and test. Let me know if it doesn't seem to give the results you're looking
for.

Thanks Nate! I will give it a try and let you know.

There seems to be odd behavior if the RUNGFIRST and SHEET attributes are set
as LJT justification. Avoid this for now. Set them as CJT or RJT or
something other than LJT.

Hey Nate,
It seems to be close to working. I will have to play with the text and positioning but I think I am on the right track.

Thanks for the help.
Robert.
