QLEADER From Existing Note

Anyone have a routine that would promp the user to select an existing text
object, call the leader command and use the text string selected by the
user? Have about a zillion "busted" leadered notes that need to be brough up
to snuff.

Thanks in advance.

 

You might also try express/dimension/leader tools/attach leader to
annotation.

 

you could use qleader with the "copy an object" setting.

you have to erase the old text though.

 

I've got one, but we don't "attach" our leaders to text.. and it relies
on our inter-office dim styles..

I could clean it up so it gets everything from the selected text.. if
you like..

 

That's a good suggestion - I learned something new! On trying it, I fins
that it makes an exact copy of the existing text object.

Here's a little diddy I came up with:

(defun C:NL () ;NewLeader
(setq e (entsel "\nSelect note: "))
(setq TVAL (cdr (assoc 1 (entget (car e)))))
(command "QLeader" pause pause (* 1.75 (getvar "DimScale")) TVAL "")
)

I'm using this to "conform" architectural details to my client's standard. I
set the appropriate layer and dimstyle and go.

Thanks again for the education.
