MLEADER objects do not honour TSPACEFAC and TSPACETYPE

G'day,

I have just discovered that MLEADER objects do not honour the settings for TSPACEFAC and TSPACETYPE.

If I place multiline text, that text honours the two settings. In my case, TSPACEFAC is 1.08 and TSPACETPYE is 2 (for exactly).

In that same drawing, if I then place an MLEADER, pick it and then look up its properties in the Properties Palette, TSPACEFAC is 1.0 and TSPACETYPE is 1 (for at least).

Kind of makes the MLEADERS that little less useful as if you have two pieces of text, one part of a MLEADER and the other just multiline tect, the difference becomes noticeable, particularly as you have more and more lines for both objects.

Any solutions other than wasting time picking and manually adjusting the properties?

Thanks.

Create one perfect MLEADER with manual edits and use it all the time: it's what ToolPalettes are for after all.
Or
Draw your MTEXT then draw a Leader: go old-school.
Or reach out to the LISP/VBA forums and ask for help writing a custom solution.

I must respectfully disagree. That is what TSPACEFAC, TSPACETYPE and MLEADERSTYLE are for, AutoDesk simply never set it up correctly.
