Hello everybody

 

I do drawings that have to have call outs. However, sometimes the call out line crosses with lines of the drawing so every call out line has to have an offset of .025, this way, the line only touches the item im calling.

 

Currently, I do an outside offset on the line both ways, then I use trim and cut everything inside. Sometimes my figures have up to 50 call outs and I have to do this process that is very time consuming.

 

Is there a way I could to this faster? I thought maybe i could put a blank line below my callout line, that had the width of the offset. Or maybe two blank rectangles that had the space of the line between them. I'm new in AutoCad and I'm having some trouble trying to solve this.

 

Note. I copy and paste my drawings to word with paste special Picture (Windows Metafile) so it has to look the same as autocad.

 

Example.

Last picture is the result I need

I CAN SAY SIMPLE , THAT EACH (50No's)CALLOUTS SHOULD BE A BLOCK.MAKE ONE CALLOUTS AS A BLOCK AND PASTE AS  50 No's NOW CAN MODIEFIED SIMPLY BY MODIFIED SINGLE BLOCK IT(50No's) WILL BE MODIFIED ITSELF

Are you making use of multileaders?

Do you have to touch the original drawing at all? Draw a 3dface (with offset to your leader line) with invisible edges to a higher level (elevation) than the drawing entities and the leader at least to the same elevation. Now use hide or shademode-command - and the geometry disappears around your call-out leaders. This does not hide text entities - they do not disappear. Benifit of this is, that when you want to ammend your drawing later, it still is in original form and you need to move/rotate/add new call-outs ??
