Leader not needed
- Thread starter dogarila

What version of SW are you using?
I think that the leader option is defined in the block definition. In SW2001+, the leader option is presented in the Property Manager when you insert the block. DimensionalSolutions@Core.com

Forgot this. If you want to remove the leader from a block that is already inserted, just right-click the block and the toggle is available in the Properties of the object. DimensionalSolutions@Core.com

dsi,
I know that. What I do is I insert a block attached to a drawing view using a VB program. I would like the block to be inserted without the leader added automatically by SW or use some API commands to remove it after insertion. I couldn't find anything helpful in the SW API help.

Sorry about that.
That should be controlled by the Annotation::SetLeader2 method. The Annotation Object is a level above the CustomSymbol Object. DimensionalSolutions@Core.com

I'm trying to use the following code to eliminate the leader added by SW:
Private Sub cmdXXXX_Click()
Part.InsertCustomSymbol "I:\Solid Works Lib\ATI-SW Data\Mark.sldsym"
Set AView = Part.ActiveView
Set MarkX = AView.GetFirstCustomSymbol
Set XXXXAnn = MarkX.GetAnnotation
junk = XXXXAnn.SetLeader2(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)
Part.ClearSelection
End Sub
I get the following error at line:
Set MarkX=AView.GetFirstCustomSymbol
"Object doesn't support this property or method"
and I don't understand why?
