Very nice Andrea. The only comment I have is for it to use the current text style, and the arrow head did not show up.

Many people ask me..
"what is the difference between Mleader and DiLeader ?"

Mleader have some options who DiLeader don't have
but there is what I know.....

-Mleader do allow only Mtext entity
-Mleader do no tag an object but a point.
-Mleader can not tag any unproportionaly scaled Blocks.
-Mleader remove the connection between block object if it is unproportionaly scaled. (see gif)
-Mleader available from 2008 -> 2010 only vs DiLEADER tested on 2004 -> 2010.

Do I miss something ?

By the way....why we can't use any snap mode on unproportionaly scaled blocks ?

Just FYI, this thing is AWESOME! I tried to break it, but by version 1.4, every bug I'd found from version 1.0 was corrected. (as you know)

Sweet!

hello I have a slight problem with 1.4 and 1.5:

Code: [Select]

Command: dil

(T)ext/(M)text ?<M>: M

Invalid option keyword.

(T)ext/(M)text ?<M>: T

Invalid option keyword.

(T)ext/(M)text ?<M>:

Select Object...
Pick Text location...
Dileader Finish.
also the leader is not associated with the text.
Could this be because I am using 2004?


Thanks

Hi...

can you give this a try ?

Code: [Select]

(initget 0 "TEXT MTEXT")
(setq DLtextMode1 (getkword (strcat "\n(T)ext/(M)text ?<?>: ")))
(princ (vl-princ-to-string (ascii DLtextMode1)))

Hello Andrea

On further investigation if i enter 'text' or 'mtext' in full then it will work properly.
I suppose 'text' and 'mtext' are very similar.

The other problem with moving the leader note in one I haven't been able to resolve (acad 2004)

thank you

[Andrea]

Hi PAD,

I'm working on it and be back with a new release.

(what is the bug on moving ?)
