quick leader

[zennis]

Is there a way to use the quick leader command and have the leader (i.e. the leader and arrowhead) already exploded. I am looking for a command similar to "dimaso" however, would be associated with quick leaders. Basically, I do not want the quick leader to be associative.
Thanks

If you do not want the leader associated with text then try this routine.

; Ldr.lsp Tim Wilson
; Similar to the Quick Leader but without the text prompts

(defun c:lk (/ lpt1 lpt2 lpt3)
(setq #OSM (getvar "osmode&quot)
(setq #OTM (getvar "orthomode&quot)
(setq #CLE (getvar "clayer&quot)
(setvar "OSMODE" 0)
(setvar "orthomode" 0)
(IF (NULL (tblsearch "layer" "G-Text&quot)
(command "layer" "m" "G-Text" "c" "7" "" "&quot
(command "layer" "s" "G-Text" "" "&quot
);end if
(setq lpt1 (getpoint "\nPick Start Point..: &quot)
(setq lpt2 (getpoint lpt1 "\nPick Next Point..: &quot)
(setvar "ORTHOMODE" 1)
(setq lpt3 (getpoint lpt2 "\nPick End Point..: &quot)
(if
(null lpt3)
(command "leader" lpt1 lpt2 "a" "" "n&quot
(command "leader" lpt1 lpt2 lpt3 "a" "" "n&quot
);end if
(setvar "osmode" #osm)
(setvar "orthomode" #otm)
(setvar "clayer" #CLE)
(princ)
);end defun
(PRINC)

hi zennis,

can't help but ask, why don't you want leaders to be assoc. with text items?
can't tell you how frustrating it is to modify a drawing that has non-assoc. leaders.

just my 2 cents.

OZZY84 your not alone on that one:
1) you can't re-point them/re-angle the 1st ext. line
2) you can't globally alter arrowhead size

If you don't want the leader assoc. with text then turn mtext off (in leader options) and use your own (this will speed up dwg regen time too). Hope i haven't missunderstood your question....
