Multileader

[Christian.mendoza2]

I have this multileader, and for some reason, it does not change the anchor point when it is rotated (90 degrees). When the multileader is not rotated, the anchor point automatically change sides. Please see attached photo.

 

Anyone know the reason for this?

Could you please post a dwg with this multileader in use?

I would like to attempt a fix but must look at the structure.

Cheers,

Hi,

Would you please attache here your Multileader as a CAD dwg file for testing ?

[Christian.mendoza2]

File is attached. It is that particular MLD Style that only does that. Thanks guys for taking the time to look at it.

Got it...

Modify your multileader style and un-check "Automatically include landing" on the Leader Structure tab.

This will omit the landing but the behavior will be correct when applying any angle to the multileader.

Hope that is good-nuff.  Works but no landing.

Cheers,

Blaine

he only other solution I can think of is to create your own leaders as blocks with parameters and actions (Dynamic Blocks).

I've made some pretty fun ones with the classes I've instructed.  We used them on assembly models with iso views in viewports.

Is there some reason that the objects need to be 1200 miles from the WCS origin?  If the leader style is pasted into another drawing, i works fine.  If the leaders are moved close to the origin, they work fine.

A point in the middle of the leaders reads coordinates of  X = 6338851.5000 Y = 2142729.5000 Z = 0.0000

My drawing is at a Coordinate system and I am utilizing Geolocation.

Unfortunately, I need the landing to put my stationing. Like I said, it is behaving that way on that particular style only. I don't have the same problem with the other multileader styles.

It was the block property that was causing the problem. Block should be set to "scale uniformly". Thank you guys for the help, appreciate it.

Do you ever need more than one arrow?  If not, then it would be easy enough to reproduce the leader as a dynamic block.  It gets more tricky if you need multiple arrows.

Good find on the uniform scale property.

However... I also found that your block includes a wipeout region.  When I delete that and save the block it seems to behave properly in your original location and without tampering with the block properties.

Just an observation but worth noting.

Cheers,

Will definitely keep that in mind. Thank you.

The uniform scaling property didn't affect it for me. Only deleting the wipeout worked when far from the origin.

[Christian.mendoza2]

I spoke too soon...it did it for a while on my drawing. I deleted the wipeout and it solved the problem too. Credits to @beyoungjr. Thanks a lot guys for finding the time to resolve this problem.

Just a follow on this issue, I recently found out that the way the blocks are composed creates the problem. Base point should be specified on the BLOCK DEFINITION window rather than in the block editor itself. This will solve the issue mentioned above.
