Multileaders and Notes not visible.

Multileaders and Notes not visible.

Multileaders and Notes not visible.

(OP)
Hello,

I'm having a problem with my QC Dept not being able to read notes or multileaders on DWGs from the engineering dept.

Engineering is using 2008, but our QC dept uses R14. All files are saved in R14 format.

When QC opens up the files they can't see any Multileaders or Notes... which is casing some problems.

Anyone experience this or have an idea what is casuing it??

Thanks in adavance!

RE: Multileaders and Notes not visible.

Have you tried viewing files in 2008, after saving as Ver 14?  Multileader and notes are pretty recent features (say 2006 or later), not available in R14, so when you save to R14 they go "poof".

QC using R14, sounds like an an oxymoron...

Believe me.. I wish it were otherwise.....

We can still open all the drawings and see the notes and multileaders with 2008 after saving in R14 Format..
 

RE: Multileaders and Notes not visible.

I found a similar problem discussed, below.  So problem may be due to multiple annotation scales. Or could be background masking having a problem in translation. Has R14 QC tried exploding mleaders, see what happens?
--------------------------------

1. You open an AutoCAD 2008 drawing that contains annotated MLEADERS in an
earlier release and try to edit the MLEADER. Since it can't be edited, you explode
it. Where did it go?
MLEADERS are 2008 entities that don't exist in AutoCAD 2007, even though they use the same
file format. That's no problem unless you or someone to whom you send the file, tries to edit
one of them in an earlier release. If the MLEADER wasn't displayed in multiple layout viewports
at different annotative scales you can explode them. They're no longer MLEADERS, but you
can modify the resulting text and polylines. However, if you explode an MLEADER that had
been displayed at multiple annotative scales, it will disappear into an AcDbZombieEntity, which
no one can retrieve – at least not now.
