Then , if you explode the Leader, and investigate the arrow block ;

Hi Andrea,

I still am following this thread! Still like the discussion and I try every new update.
There is a thing that I would like to know, and maybe you can help me clear it up.

Is it possible to change the angle of the leader? I mean like 90 degrees or 0 degrees?
You should not alter the code only for my request but maybe you can show me where to look to alter it myself.
Or maybe that it works kinda "ortho"-like.

And also: the routine places the text left or right of the arrow leader. When moving the  leader at one point it flips the text over to the other side.
It would be nice to have a switch in there, ie. when the arrow is placed the text appears on the left or right.
With TAB you can choose wich arrow head you want. And maybe with SPACE flip it left <-> right.
Maybe I'm not to clear... Dutch ah... :ugly:

Hi Aerdvark,

Thanks for your suggestions...
I'm a little busy at the moment (working on a new Project)
so i'll give a look soon on your request.

By the way....I do not understand what is the advantage to flip Left->Right the text entity..
can you provide any exemple ?

for the moment...there is some fix.

DiLEADER 2.2.5

also, you will see a new icon when the cursor crosses over a Leader entity created by QLEADER.
This new icon will allow me to transform this entity to a DiLeader Object on request for the next release.

Hallo Andrea

Danke jetzt sind meinen Pfeilspitzen ok.

Super Tool

Very Nice Program Andrea.  What about typing in the text after the leader is placed instead of at the command line?
And, what about using up and down arrow keys to adjust the arrow size on the fly?

Great Work!

[Andrea]

Very Nice Program Andrea.

thanks

Not sure about your request.....
DiLeader allow Both.
if you don't enter any text at the command line it will ask on the graphic screen.

And, what about using up and down arrow keys to adjust the arrow size on the fly?

Nice Idea..
But is this will not interfer with the Company size standard ?

sure..I can get the + - key code or the arrowKey on the numPad
but can't get the arrow Key.

Put a variable to flag the feature On / OFF so the admin can control it.

Hi all,...

I would like to thank you about all your comments, bug report and suggestions.
I realy appreciate.

There is a New release.

DiLEADER 2.2.6
Dynamic Intelligent Leader

Bug Fix:
- Fix for dilATTACH : Arrow End Point
- Fix for Multi-Leader : Arrow End Point
- Princ test messages removed.

What's new?:

- Configuration panel have now 2 more flags.


   1) Allow Dynamic arrow resizing:
       this allow user to use + or - key to change the arrow size in real time


   2) Auto-Convert Qleader->DiLEADER:
       this allow user to use DiLEDIT with Qleader entity.
       it detect the nearest object entity of the arrow start point.
       if there is no object, Auto-Convert do nothing.


- DiLEADER will now draw the Leader perpendicular to the object.


- Object switch !  this new feature was added on Qleader entity and allow user to
   replace object pointed by the Leader.




I think that last feature is cool, and i'll work on it to improve this tool.

Enjoy ! and have a nice weekend all !

[kevinpo]

WOW! you have outdone yourself again. 
All works great.  I need to find out how you put the little arrow at the cursor on DiLedit.

Very Nice.

Kevin

[Aerdvark]

OMG yes the perpendicular thingy is very cool !
Must say it gets better every time !

I have tried to give you an example "of the switch I mentioned" but I could not create a situation in wich it would be needed. I have come across a situation once where it did not do what I wanted but since I can't create such situation myself: please ignore my silly idea, it was maybe a bit too far. (Modify the code for such small thingy... :pissed:)

Great work !

I (and many others) allready await your new project whatever that me be !
