    We use Terramodel & Autocad 2004 in our office. On occasion we have to
    export the Terramodel file out to Autocad. For the most part it works fine
    because Terramodel will export as Autocad entities (most of them anyway) up
    to release 2000. Leader lines are 1 of those exceptions. In Terramodel
    leader lines are linetypes so when you export them out they come over as
    simply polylines. What would be the quickest way to turn them into Autocad
    type leader lines or even lines with a soild arrow at the end. Do I need to
    create a linetype that only has a arrow at the end. (is that even
    possible)...

    Comments, Questions, Answers, ...Anyone


    Thanks

    Tim,
    Just a comment. You could easily pick the polyline - and insert an arrowpoint at the end, with the same 'rotation' as the line picked ? Make up the arrowpoint, block it, with insertion point at tip of the arrow.

  3. You could read in the polyline points and recreate a leader by tracing those
    points to the Leader command.

    Allen,
    Wouldn't he also need to capture the 'textual' part to feed into leader annotation ? And if so, need to delete the 'old' text..
