leader and text not aligning properly

[weston]

My leaders appear to be aligning to the top corner of the text box instead of the top line of text (see attached). Does anybody know how to remedy this or can you point me to a threat that can?
Thanks for you help!

right click when you start the qleader command and select settings, you can change the location there

[weston]

I tried that already its set up right (I think). But it is hitting above the line of text instead of in the middle of it. Is there a setting for that?

[ccowgill]

I'm not sure, could you post your drawing so I can take a look at your settings?

Hi

In the "Leader Settings" dialog box, what are the settings on the "Attachment" tab.

Just checking...

Are you using the _.QLeader command ?

If no, what command are you using to create Leader Object with MText Object ?

Have a good one, Mike

See the attachment to see my settings. I am using qleader. The wierest thing is that I can use the design center to take text styles and dim styles from a drawing that works on other peoples computers and try to use it on mine and it does not work.

What happens if a "good" user Exports their AutoCAD profile ( .ARG file ), and you Import and Set Current this "good" users .ARG file ?

I imorted the "good" profile and set it current, but it did not affect the way the leader lines up with the text.

Ok!

What happens if a "good" user logs onto your computer and uses the _.QLeader command ?

What Variable does this change? I am trying to get our LISP routines to change this automatically, as it is drawing dependent and we need to always have it work right.

That is a very interesting idea. I tried it and unfortunately it still did not work properly. I am at a point where I think I am ready to uninstall reinstall.

Before going down that road...

What happens if you log onto a "good" users computer and run the _.QLeader command ?

I am just trying to determine if it is...

Your AutoCAD profile.
Your Windows profile.
Your computer.

that is the cause of the problem.

Before uninstalling / reinstalling, try running a Repair Install instead ( it might cure the problem, plus it takes a lot less time ).

I did a little more investigating and found out that it is not specific to working on my computer but instead it is specific to the drawing (I thought I check that already, but I checked it again) Everything seems to work fine if I use other drawings on my machine, or on someone elses. But if I use that drawing on someone elses machine it still does not work. Thus, I think it is drawing specific, not profile/user/or computer specific. Even so, I tried to find a system variable to change this and have yet to find one.

It isn't a system variable it is an association list.

If you search for QLeader Settings in the forum, it will get you exactly where you need to go. I dont know how to create a link to it, otherwise I would

Is it possible to post the drawing file so we may take a look at the issue / problem first-hand ( so-to-speak )...

To go along with the information Richard kindly supplied above, does this help...

Here you go. Have Fun! I know I am.Hi

I have managed to find the cause of the problem... but not a satisfactory answer / solution ( yet! ).

Cause: Look at ViewTwist and how this affects Leader Objects and placement of MText Objects to them.

Have a good one, Mike

I think that it is amazing that you figured that out. I would have never guessed that. Unless you can quickly figure out a way to fix it though I would say leave it and move on. I have just been using unassociated leaders and placing the text where I need it. It takes a few more clicks but works ok.
Thanks a lot for you efforts

:Oops: no worries... I get lucky sometimes.

Ok! but if I do have the time, I will take a further look.

viewtwist AND ucs screw up the top left association with leaders. I've had this problem with qleaders since 2002 and i've never seen a fix.

why the heck can't you put a line under the first line of text also?

if you draw your qleaders in the world ucs, they will always attach the mtext correctly. IF YOU ROTATE your ucs, or make a ROTATED ucs for plotting, etc.... you will find that the qleader bugs out and will not work on either left or right middle of top line of mtext.

bug.

[Hammer.John.J]

has this been fixed in 08 yet or are they ignoring this and the atleast/exactly problem?

[rolibolibo]

It's not your computer or your file because I get this too. It has to do w/ UCS not set as World. I'm also looking for an answer right now.

I am also looking for a solution. Has anyone seen anything from Autodesk?

Did anybody ever figure this out? I'm trying to do the same thing.

thanks!

Unlike the bmp file shown in the post #25, I cannot see any problem when opening your drawing - it is just alright.
My system:
1) XPpro 32bit
2) AutoCAD 2009 Mech
Also, The justify mode of the text shown is "Top Left".

Are you sure that your version is up-to-date?

[jpaulsen]

Our solution was to stop using Qleader and use the Leader command. It does not have this issue with twisted views.
