CUSTOM MLEADER ARROW DISAPPEARS

CUSTOM MLEADER ARROW DISAPPEARS

Hello,

 

I'm trying to create an mleader with a custom "arrowhead".  I can add the arrowhead to the leader with no problem, but I have to drag it so far away from the reference tag.  If I move it any closer, the arrowhead disappears.  Is there something I can do to alleviate this issue?

 

Thanks.

Hi @bret_wieseler ,

 

Can you share drawing with mleader with this custom arrowhead?

Greeting @bret_wieseler 

 

May I ask why you need this long line in your custom arrow block? That's the problem

Looks like you created the problem to solve a problem with your arrow's placement having a gap perhaps?

It appears you want this all to be annotative too, is that correct?

Pendean,

If I don't draw that line, there is a gap between the arrowhead and the mleader.  It seems like all the arrowheads that AutoCAD provide have a stem of sorts.  See below:

You are correct in your observations @bret_wieseler 

 

EDIT: Your line's length is the problem, here they all are side by side at 1:1 scale. That's it in your posted file, I'm not sure what your screenshot is from, your custom block's size is out of whack

Hi Bret,

 @bret_wieseler 

 

This is "by design" - AutoCAD hides multileader arrowhead when the first leading segment is less than twice the length of the arrowhead.

But there is a workaround.

Please look at the attached DWG - try multileader inside yellow rectangle.

Does it work for you?

If yes, then idea of the workaround is to make block elements four times bigger then it should - in your case I scaled objects inside arrowhead block 4 times.

Now you need to edit multileader style and set the scale of the arrow to 1/4:

 That is all.

The new multileader style in your drawing is MLDR-REFR-DETL-1 and arrowhead block for it is REFR-ARRW-1.

 

All kudos should go here:
