Exact point using ENTSEL

[peter]

As Ed Jobe eluded to.. to solve for the fact that multileaders do not allow the nea osnap.

The code I presented below uses activex to trace over the leaders with polylines.

The routine iterates through the leaders one at a time and measure the distance from the entsel point to the closest point on the polyline.

It deletes the polyline after getting the closest point.

It adds the information to a list of sublists.

It then sorts the list of sublists so the leader that is the closest to the entsel point is first in the list.

Then the closest point from the polyline is returned.

It is kinda convoluted...

There is always a work around.

Sorry my code is so verbose... I would rather be verbose and easy to read.

Sorry ... jumping in a little late here. I'm wondering a little bit about the spec requirements here. Are you selecting on the leader itself or could the user's pick point be on the leader text as well? What's the need for knowing the exact point on the MLeader? I'm assuming something is being done with that point later on. Will the MLeader's leader only have a landing and a leader line or could it have multiple segments in the leader? Could the MLeader object have more than one leader?

Inquiring minds want to know ...

so you want to click an entity and boom LEADER? GENIUS!!!

how about auto fill with extended entity data?

thanks to you guys, i was able to use the expressed point to shift between entsel and nentsel
