Hi

You can try this for move text to mleader

  

(vl-load-com)
(defun make_mlead (pt str lay / tmp ptlst arr nw_obj)

  (setq

Wasn't going that complicated. using the polyline vertex to pick the closet text to keep in some what of an order. rather then jumping all around. You could use grread to display text as your moving i

Well done Mhupp as suggested joins to insertion point. Thinking more do a bounding box then compare distance to say the 4 corners the smallest distance is the one to be used, add 4 more mid points wou

Thanks a lot this is what I need. Also, a small request this code accepts only text on ID layer what if the objects are on multiple layers and I need the arrow on the same layer as the text. This is a request.

THANKS A LOT; is there any way to select the text which has to be relocated instead of all the texts on that line.

yes, this is good and it is very much appreciated. Thank you. Intially my idea was to select the line and select a text and move to a new location with arrow and size change then select another. Anyways this is also good.

Hi, 

I have made a code that is not perfect. what I does it move the text and draws an arrow from the text insertion point.

I need in this code is to

change the text height,

set the arrow to the layer of the text and an option for arrow size.

continuous selections of text after each relocation.

 

(Defun c:Tpx (/ IP IP2) 
(setq txt (car (entsel "Pick Text"))); entity
(if txt
(progn
(setq elist (entget txt)); entity list
(setq IP (cdr (assoc 10 elist))); Insertion Point
); progn
); if
(setq IP2 (getpoint "\nPick Next point: "))
(command "move" txt "" ip IP2 "")
(command "_.leader" IP IP2 "_a" "" "_n"))
