Justification of notes in weld symbols

[rossob]

Just wondering if I am missing something with the manipulation of text notes that are added to weld symbols?

When I go to add a note to a weld symbol (with leader on the LHS, text as standard is left justified) that uses more than one line, I have to manually add spaces to the start of each line, so the text doesn't overlap the weld symbol. (See attached picture, top weld symbol)

Alternatively, if I then wish to move that weld symbol so the leader points to the right, I have to add spaces to the end of each line of text to manually align it, so the text doesn't overlap the weld symbol.(See attached picture, bottom weld symbol)

I cannot seem to find any text-alignment options, as there are with normal notes. Am I missing something, or is it just something that will have to be done each time we create a weld symbol?

I can solve your problem when the arrow is to the 'left' but I can't for when you switch to the 'right'.

Just try a different Font other than 'helios_con_lt'. The closest that I found in appearance and which that works OK is 'ge_font5'. Of course it also works OK with the standard 'blockfont', which is why our testing probably never caught anything.
