CyberAngel Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 In AutoCAD 2008 I couldn't put multileaders in hatched areas. When I added the multileader to the hatch objects, the hatch disappeared in a triangle defined by the text width and the arrowhead. Useless. In AutoCAD 2011 I can't put multileaders in hatched areas, but for a different reason. With a Circle block for content, the hatch uses the circle as a boundary, which is okay, but then it uses the text inside as another boundary. The text itself becomes hatched! Still useless. I can give a background mask to a text multileader, why not a block multileader? Quote
Dana W Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 Change your Island Detection to Outer. The hatch will stop at the circle then, instead of treating the text area as an island. Quote
CyberAngel Posted December 21, 2011 Author Posted December 21, 2011 Change your Island Detection to Outer. The Island Detection is set to Outer. For some reason the Island Detection checkbox is on but greyed out. I put a wipeout inside the circle block. That seems to have solved the problem, as far as I can tell. Not useless but klugey. Quote

That's weird. it shouldn't be greyed out with a check in there and it should be working. I tested mine and it worked, but I don't know what to suggest now. Somebody will come up with it soon, I hope.
