Inventor 2023 - Leader / Text command issues

doug.johnston — Tue, 03 Jan 2023 19:37:26 GMT

After upgrading to INV2023 from 2020, I've noticed that the "Leader Text" command is not the same as the 2020 version.

The Leader Text only goes either to the top or bottom justification with no middle justification (see picture).

1. Was this one of the changes between the two versions ??

2. I've tried to change the command in the Style Manager, but can't seem to find where to do it ??

Any assistance to resolve this (mainly the middle justification) would be appreciated ...

Thanks, Doug J.

First verify you are on 2023.2 just in case it matters here.

Next, why is your Leader Text dialogue box so vastly different than mine?

I'm on 2023.2 and select the "Leader Text" command, yet as you'll see below, my menu is a lot different, more robust than yours and this offers the option to set the leader tail to be center justified as shown.

@doug.johnston

Can you show us exactly what command you are using that gives you this dialog box? I get the same thing that @Anonymous is seeing with Leader Text. Granted, you can't trust an elf most days,... 😂

The dialog you show is labeled Leader Text; the label of the box that I get, and that @Anonymous shows is Format Text. You're working with an add-in of some kind, or a different tool than the standard Leader Text tool. I don't recall ever seeing a dialog that looks like that.

BINGO .... the "ESKD Support" add-in was loaded and causing a different "Leader Text" dialog box to show up.

I unloaded the Add-in and everything is back to normal ....

Thanks guys,

p.s. what do Angry Elves accept as bribes these days ????
