Microstation XM - Modify leader Lines
Microstation XM - Modify leader Lines
(OP)
With our change to XM, it seems that we can no longer modify existing or newly placed Leader Lines.
Where text is attached to a Leader Line or not, it seems that the Leader Line and the Terminator are no longer attached, after they are placed.
If I select "Graphic Group" Lock, the Terminator will move with the Leader Line, but if I attempt to Modify the location of the end of the Leader Line, the Terminator keeps the original direction, and does not rotate with the Leader Line.
I have searched for some setting to select to no avail. If you know of the correct setting, please let me know.
Please see attachment for clarity.
Thanks,
R. Hagan

A little more detail on how the leader was created would help.
Is your Association Lock toggled on?

RE: Microstation XM - Modify leader Lines
We use Place Note for our leaders. In fact, typing in the command "Place Active Line Terminator." did nothing.
I have selected "Association" on the lock toggles and on the Place Note dialog box, it makes no difference on or off, even after saving settings between each change. I have selected different terminators from cells to text. No difference.
If I move the leader without "Graphic Group" toggle, the line moves without the termiator.
Former versions of Microstation had a selection in "WORKSPACE", called "TILE LIKE IGDS". By selecting this, the terminators and leader lines would act like one element.
I should probably listen to my colleagues and just delete and relocate the notes. But, where that would take 4 actions, modfying takes 2.
Thanks!!

Otherwise I am sure you are on Bentley Select Support so you can contact them directly to see if they can take a look at the files for you. http://selectservices.bentley.com/en-US/
