First Draft Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I find that the angle constraint doesn't control the angle of plant tag leaders as I reposition them in an effort to make my drawing more legible. I also can't see a leader as I move it, so it takes several trials to find even the approximate angles that I want. I must be missing something obvious. Help would be so appreciated.

Vectorworks, Inc Employee Tamsin Slatter Posted April 19, 2007 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted April 19, 2007 This is exactly the question I was about to ask... Any ideas gratefully received! I can see leaders, and even try to follow the SmartCues - but it just doesn't seem to do it. Please can you help us? Quote Link to comment
boundnorth Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Related Question (sorry, no answer to yours)... the plant tags show up in the drawing but there is no leader/line linking the tag with the ctr point of the plant symbol. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment
Thom Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 boundnorth Check the settings of the class you have assigned the tag too - assuming you are using VWL 12 Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Tamsin Slatter Posted April 22, 2007 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted April 22, 2007 Aha! I think I just stumbled on the solution to the angles... Are you using the shift key to try to constrain the angle? I was and it doesn't work. HOWEVER, if you have constraints set to ON in the palette, then use the resize cursor on the joint of the leader line, you can watch for the SmartCursor Cues and they seem to work for me. However,the Tag Class is the bit to work on for line thickness etc. Quote Link to comment
