Hello,
for a particular plan type that I often have to create for a regular client, the client has specific requirements regarding callout boxes which are often needed in the plan. They have provided a callout consisting of two rectangles and a circle, each shape with text inside, along with a single leader (line). Since this callout gets used dozens of times in each plan, I want to create an attributed block for it to streamline my work.
The only part I’m stuck on is to get the leader to be dynamic so that it functions just like a leader in a standard Multiline-Leader (where if I point the end of the leader to the right of the textbox, the start of the leader jumps to the right edge of the textbox, and vice versa). I want to incorporate a „jumping“ leader which can start from either the top left, bottom left, or bottom right corner of my block (the top right has a circle / no corner to comfortably start from).
Can anyone help me out here?
Attached is the original callout from the client and to the right is my block which needs amending to have the dynamic leader. (The leader can just be a line / doesn’t need an arrowhead!)
I don’t know if it’s possible to make this dynamic block be that smart/dynamic though? If not, then I would settle with having a block with a freely movable leader, starting on the bottom left corner, but „set to the back“ so that if i point the leader north-east of the block, the leader doesn’t cross over, but rather under the block (which has a white hatch behind it).
