ACAD 2000/2006 Quick leaders Flying off screen.

ACAD 2000/2006 Quick leaders Flying off screen.

(OP)
I have a weird thing going on with my drawing. My drawing was created in ACAD 2000 and we have upgraded to 2006. When I opened the drawing in 2006 everything was fine, I worked on it for a while and then while switching back through the tabs I notice something startling, my leaders had shot off the screen. Anyone ever see this before or is my CAD possessed.

Sounds like dimstyle went from ENGLISH to METRIC settings. Give your dimstyles a peek and see.

Not sure what you mean about english vs metric, my dimstyle doesn't have that option or maybe I just don't know where it is.

It could be any number of things...text offset is most likely culprit.

I recommend opening the file in 2000 if you still have a copy around.  Then open in 06 and compare all parameters under properties.

IMHO, up until R14, leaders, dims, text were very user friendly.  Since 2000, they make it more and more confusing to use leaders.  They keep adding "features" which require more user steps to use.  Oh well, progress...
