As far as I know, if you create a circle (CIRC) as the first member, the leader line will be cut automatically on the circumference.
See Aveva supplied Template (/TT/DRA/MAS/LABELS/PRO/NOZZLE/NOZZMET)
If you do not need a circle in your label you could maybe make it invisible (NLStyle OFF)
This is also valid if the first member is a RECT primitive.
I am talking about AVEVA PDMS Draft Mk12.1.SP4.34[6608] (WINDOWS-NT 6.1) (18 Jul 2016 : 20:49)
I created a wonderful SLAB (well, a useful one)...but the leader line is alway only on the left side.
The leader line of an slab "grabs" the marker Point - if the Point (MRKP) is the first member of the SYTM.
But if I have two marker Points - one "left of the Symbol" and one "right of the Symbol",
the left one as first member of the SYTM and the right one as last member of the SYTM.
Shouldn't the leader line connect to the closest marker Point in DRAFT, e.g. to the right Point wenn I move the SLAB with the Model Handler to the left part of the relevant view??
Both marker Points at mem 1 and mem 2 doesn't work too....
you're right. The circle works, unfortunately not lines and arcs...
Your idea is good: making it invisible, but then the leader line is unfortunately somewhere near "my" smbol, but not directly on the marker point.
But if I make the rectangle (gbox?) very small and move the rectangle close to my marker points: maybe noone sees the gaps in the drawing...
I wish those tricks where not necessary....
If your symbol cannot be easily inscribed into a circle or a rectangle, you could probably create a more complex (closed) shape using an OUTL (Outline) primitive.
But I am not sure it will work....
No, doesn't work.
Only text (TEXP), one circle or one marker Point works / is recognized.
I think the leader line has to be placed manually with lead conn @...
Should be use the RECT element for make a line then set the attribute YLEN = 0 and XLEN is the length of Horizontal line.
Now the RECT element will be look like a line.
The leader connection will be connect the closet corner of RECT (Left and Right).
