I just discovered that you can type SPLINE into Carlson (Acad flavor) and it makes a really nice flowing leader. I just found that one. Now, I wonder, has anybody got an arrow, on that, that automatically attaches? For labeling stuff. I really like making it with spiral flowing leaders. It's the feeling, I want to put into the plat.
Maybe that would be a lisp routine?

Thanks!

Nate

Draw - Leader - Special Leader

I already got that one...

Just try this:
Type "spline" on the command line.
Draw whatever flowing leader you want. At the end, hit enter 3x.

Try it.

I'm in c3d.

Try drawing a typical leader (linear with an arrowhead), using whatever command you use (mleader, le are two that I know). Once you get it looking like you want, right-click> properties. Change leader type to spline. Might get you what you're looking for.

Try Draw, Dimensions, Leader, click for where you want the arrow, then click for your first break in the leader, then press F (Format), then S (Spline). This will allow you to draw the leader with as many curves as you desire.
