default leader settings

[doberman69]

When starting a new leader I select the leader icon from the tools menu. When I insert the leader, the font style defaults to "unstyled". Every other setting for the leader seems to be correct though. So I have to go into leader settings and change the font style to our standard style ( which was set previously). When I do this the horizontal justification of the text settings change the in the leader to "Left" instead of the "Auto" it was originally correctly set to. Once I get everything set AGAIN within a given drawing the rest seem to work fine. If I start a new drawing or work on some other drawing then I have to go through that process all over again. Soooooo, how does one set standards and they stick?

It is set on a per document basis, so set it the way you want (along with everything else) and save it as a template file. Those settings will then be ready when you start a file from the Template.

That's what I'm saying. I created a template and set the leader settings but they go back to "unstyled" and if changed to the style I set them to they change the justification. EVERYTIME I open that template

Then they did not get saved in the template.

 

Open the template, change the leader settings. Save as Template again.

 

See if that helps.

huh, interesting. I'll give that a try but how is that possible if some of the settings are set correctly.?
