Topic: MLeader style creation weirdness

[BazzaCAD]

In Acad2008 I've been doing some Lsp/Vlsp work to create MLeader styles. All is working good, except 1 thing.
If I create the text styles first then create the Mleader styles, then place an Mleader in the DWG the text is too big.
But if I create the text styles, place an Mtext object in the dwg, then create the Mleader styles & place one it's ok.
So my question is, why do I have to place an Mtext object in the dwg before I can define the MLeader styles?

thx,
Barry

Wild Guess!

When you place the mtext in the drawing the system variable TEXTSIZE is being set & that is being used by your leader routine.

Would need some code to check your problem. Are you sure it is limited to 2008?

I don't think MLeaders were around prior to 2008.....

Barry, Alan's correct in that it may just be something simple in the code, but without seeing it it is rather difficult to say.

Thanks Jeff, I'm behind the times.

Thx guys, you where right. It was the TEXTSIZE var.
I'll post my MLeader creation code when I get all the bugs worked out, but this had nothing to do with my MLeader code.
I was is in my TextStyle setup code. I just had to set the correct TEXTSIZE after all the text styles where defined...

thx again.
