Hi all

A junior tech in my office has managed to insert about 30 drawings worth of quick leaders but in the wrong direction - he didnt bother adjusting dimscale to show the arrow for some reason.

Is there a way I can either reverse the leader direction, or reverse all leaders 180deg about their midpoint?

Line / Polyline reverse lisps wont work on a leader unfortunately but I'd imagine the same principle applies?

Cheers
Kyle

The same principle applies, pretty much.  But there are some dynamic things going on that sometimes produce odd results, like adding a short tail.
 
Try the following, it seems to mostly work..
 
(defun c:rld ()
    (while
      (setq ename (car (entsel "Select leader: ")))
      (setq Edata (entget Ename))
      (setq VertList (vl-remove-if-not '(lambda (a) (= (car a) 10)) Edata))
      (setq Ed_Tail (member (assoc 340 Edata) Edata))
      (setq Ed_Front (reverse (member (assoc 76 Edata) (reverse Edata))))
      (setq Ed_Rev (append Ed_Front (reverse Vertlist) Ed_Tail))
      (entmod Ed_Rev)
      (princ)
   )
)
