Text Box around text

[Anonymous]

Add option of having text box around text in bought “Text” and “Leader Text”. I’ve been getting away with using “Datum Identifier Symbol” but it’s not a very practical method.

Best regards, Tom

We need a built in provision to quickly create a autosizing box around leader text.

As it is we have to create a sketch on a view or in space & draw a box eyeballing it to look uniform.

If & when text changes the box has to be hand editted & moved around.

Perhaps the box could have shape options (oblong or rectanglular) & properties that can be changed at the dialog or via Leader Styles.

Should be releatively easy to implement since this feature is currently available for inspection dimenensions.

All,

Also see these requests relating to text boxes and leaders:

• Text background fill
• Improve text's breaking of dimension lines
• More leader alignment control

I agree, I been doing the same type of work around.

We need and option for the Leader Text like the ones find in the Datum Identifier where we can choose different type of shapes, but the option need to be easy to switch from one to another one without have to go into styles editor.
