[Lee Mac]

Wow - that is cool! 

[Aerdvark]

Thanks LeeMac..

Want to see something cool ?

DiLeader will be "WIPEOUTED" !!     

That definitely is cool !!

This is a great bit of programming; however I wanted to make 2 comments:

1. I get an error when trying to point the DIL to a block (and even a viewport [not sure how often you would wish to point to a viewport, however] )

2. Like Lee Mac mentioned earlier in this thread - would it be possible to 'combine' this with the Multi-Leader wotsit ?

[Andrea]

Unfortunetly...I think that I can't..
because Mleader use his own xdata on pickpoint that can interfere with DiLEADER Object association.

see This post

can I ask you why you want to use Mleader ? (just curious)

Finaly..

[Serge J. Gianolla]

Putain, la vache c'est genial 
Oops excuse my french 

[Andrea]

How do i get the leader arrow options? When do I use the tab key?

Gary,..
Yes, TAB key allow user to switch between all available Arrow Blocks.
If it don't work... let me know please. Maybe is a diffrent code depending the Keyboard.

Michael and Serge...
Thanks for showing your "emotivity"   

I think now I've done with this program...
i'll fix reported bug if found.

Time to get a little break before picking another idea in the basket.  :whistle:

[alanjt]

forget Mleaders, DiLEADER is the new ticket!
this is incredible Andrea!!!

[Lee Mac]

Absolutely brilliant Andrea

Hi Andrea,

Thanks again for sharing and spending time on this one! I believe this is the best lisp code I've ever came across !! Reason why?

1. The ideas are very good, it goes beyond standard autocad (or at least I think of it that way)
2. The variety inside (multiple styles, wipe outs, use of the TAB key etc.)
3. The use of it: this will be used by many

I can imagine you are done with this one now. You've got all the right to.
Just a little hint: inside the lisp you princ out :

Code: [Select]

Where the red part should be "dlmask". But don't consider this as a comment,  :realmad: ...

I think I will start a topic called "Tell us your best routine".... so there is gonna be a collection of this kinda great stuff. Anyone agree..?

[Andrea]

Aerdvark ..

Thanks for all your comment...
I realy appreciate.

The idea to have this new topic will be nice.
but theswamp have a topic named "Show your Stuff"
maybe user can put it there.?

Also,...I have made many hot routine that I can't share for legacy restriction.
but I can explain what it does and show some screenShot ?.. :kewl:

Anyway,....Nice to see that DiLeader is appreciated from many.

The promblems I am having is with the dimstyle and dimstyle overrides. If I use the standard style everything works fine, tab key and all.
When I use anyother dimstyle it creates an override and doesnot work (not arrows show up) and of course the tab key will not display the other options.
 
I think the problem is here on my end. I will get back to you when I figure it out.

I think it has to do with where I chose to place the DLCUSTOMARROW folder containing your arrow blocks.
When I use the DLCUSTOMARROW command, how do I chose a different folder using the browser?
