Text Border on Leader Text

Good Morning,

 

I cannot figure out how to add the text border on a leader text  with iLogic.  Is that feature accessible with iLogic?

 

Inv 2018

 

Thanks,

Textbox with Border option is only available to a text entity created within a sketch.  LeaderNote text although uses the same editor, has that feature disabled (aka not present).  The same is for textboxes added directly to a sheet (no border option).

Hmmm. . . OK.  Maybe another route:  Since I can enable the text boundary on leader text via GUI - can iLogic simulate mouse clicks within the inventor GUI?

In Inventor 2019, I can not use GIU to enable a leader text box's border.  Can you screencast record how you do that? Perhaps I can find the 'object' in question.

I shared a screencast with you - did you get it?  (this is my first time doing a screencast 🙂 )

I love to be proven wrong, it teaches me new things.  Ok so the button I was looking for is greyed out, and the method you are using is completely different.  Tomorrow when I'm back in the office, I will create this object, and break down the item in .Net to find if this is a text format option or what.

Thanks,

Sounds Good.  Thanks.  I think this is a fairly recent enhancement - I cant remember seeing or using it before 2018. . .

Well its not in the Formatted Text, its not in the Dimension Style, its not a hidden Attribute value.  Its not a special Background Color (similar to how if you set a certain date, the program assumes 'unchecked').  Not fully exhausting the search, it could be an associated entity.  More likely since it is a new feature, its a missing property reference in the API.  Can an Autodesk employee confirm this?
