Multileader Arial TTF appears rough

[gfreddog]

I have a drawing where some of the Multileaders text appears bold or heavier than others in the drawing. But when I check the properties comparing both types they are the same.

I Wblocked everything into a new file and the issue is still there.

See attached Jpeg for some clarification if I haven't confused you enough :-)

T.I.A.

I've noticed this error for many years, but it all plots the same weight. So I put it down to either a graphic card error, a glitch in the way the cad database forms, or act of god/flying tea pot. As it all prints fine, I just lived with it & moved on. I also noticed that sometimes the text "s t r e t c h e s" too, with again no plot effect.

Have you checked whether it is "floating". Try making sure that z=0
A routine I found elsewhere on the site for doing this (make sure you save your drawing first)

^C^C_qsave;_move;_all;;0,0,0;0,0,1e99;_move;_p;;0,0,0;0,0,-1e99;

The height "1e99" is apparently the ceiling at which AutoCAD objects can go, so it flattens all the objects then drops them all back to z=0.

Right in function but wrong in detail.
"1e99" is not a ceiling value but it is so large that any discrepancy gets lost in the rounding off.

I was thinking the same thing but I wasn't sure how to move the Multileaders to 0,0,0,0, easily

Is there a way to make


^C^C_qsave;_move;_all;;0,0,0;0,0,1e99;_move;_p;;0,0,0;0,0,-1e99;

Into a LISP? I'm still testing the waters in LISP Writing so I'm not that fluent in it yet.

TIA

(command "QSAVE")
(command "MOVE" "ALL" "" "0,0,0" "0,0,1e99")
(command "MOVE" "ALL" "" "0,0,0" "0,0,-1e99")

add a "Defun" to name it.

John;

That did it thanks!

I'll call it "Flying Teapot". Thanks brother John.

:lol:

I'd a thought that MoveAll0 (MA or M0) would be more convenient. :beer:
