Anyone know how to change the font in a multileader in Architecture 2009?

If your wanting to change all Multileaders you can change it in the style, similar to dimension styles.

For an individual Multileaders just highlight it and go to the property palette to change it.

Nothing in properties pallette to change font. How do you get to multileader styles to change the font globally. We may not be talking about the same AEC objects. For example, I'm dragging the Diamond (Spline Leader) from a tool pallette into my drawing and I need to change the font only. It doesn't appear that the font is controlled by a text style, but I cannot located anyway to edit the multileader style to change the font. Any other suggestions.

Ya we might not be talking about the samething. In 2008 and 2009 there they added to base AutoCAD Multileaders that are controlled just like standard AutoCAD dimensions.

The font is controlled by whatever the font style Standard is set to, so changes in the text style called standard should show up immediately.

Otherwise, on an individual basis, you could BEDIT the block called _TagDiamond (I think that is what it was called.) Just know that this won't show up in any other drawing than the one you are in.

I have several custom multi-leaders that either are already in the clean drawings (inserted into the template file) or can be inserted manually. I basically edited the block that autocad came with (OTB) and created my own set on the server.

Hope that helps! :beer:
