Does anyone know if it is possible to set mtext to "no wrap"? ... and can the defalt to leader lines be changed to "none" (meaning no text added when drawn"? Thanks to all the:)I's out there that can help!!!![bigcheeks]
 
I don't know about wrap since I despise MTEXT anyway, but here are two routines for leaders without text.

(defun c:l1 ()
(command "leader" pause pause "" "" "n"))

(defun c:l2 ()
(command "leader" pause pause pause "" "" "n"))

 
I know that may come a bit late but oh well, sorry!

Are you using 2000/2000(i)/2002? If so, use the qleader command and press enter to enter the settings dialog box. from here select none under the Annotation tab. This will not include any text in the leader and just draw the leader itself when you go to do it. Alternatively and a lot simpler is to draw the leader and when it comes to the Enter Mtext.... line, leave it blank and just press enter twice to finish the leader without any text.

The easist way to stop word wwrap in a leader is to create the leader as normal. Then use _ddedit, select the leader text and once in the mtext editor, just press delete on the end of the lines so that they form one long line - (you'll obviously have to add spaces in the text where you deleted).

Hope this helps. Let me know if it does..
