RAYMOND Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 its hard to draw leaders straight like in ortho mode also they will not snap or trim or extend to anything ... guess I am used to the luxury of ADT in drafting view to do detail dwgs... how do you get leaders to align with anything... r:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kris McIsaac Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Do you mean the leaders attached to text? if so these should always snap to horiz and vert. and your text will align with other text which will then make your leaders align but you cant use the align tool on leaders.

RAYMOND Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share Posted June 5, 2008 sorry, but i don't see this happening.. when i pick the start place for the leader (the arrow point) the leader will not go into an ortho mode even with the shift down and it will not go perpendiculat to a line. right now i just eyeball the thing but this is sorta sloppy.. r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kris McIsaac Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 do you have angular snaps turned on settings - snaps - tick the box for angular snap and add/delete set angles as required (works like the polar settings in Autocad) To add angles use a colon ; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAYMOND Posted June 6, 2008 Author Share Posted June 6, 2008 i think so, but let me ck tommorro... it is lines and others snap ok but leaders don't must be some special knob to twist somewhere r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAYMOND Posted June 6, 2008 Author Share Posted June 6, 2008 well one way to do this do the text first then pick add a leader... then it comes in straight r:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kris McIsaac Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 There is always more than one way to do things. Also if you draw them first you can use the grips to straighten them up after and then they will snap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
