Question: 1 / 130

How can a CAD designer reposition a multileader's text that is being cut off in one viewport without affecting it in another viewport?

Use the COPY command to duplicate the text

Use grip-stretch to move the multileader text

Repositioning the text of a multileader in a specific viewport while ensuring it remains unaffected in others requires a method that focuses purely on that instance of the multileader. Using grip-stretch is an effective approach for this situation because it allows the user to manipulate the position of the leader's text independently of the entire multileader object. When a designer selects the multileader and uses grip-stretch, they can click and drag the text to a new location to ensure that it is visible and correctly placed in the chosen viewport without altering the properties of the multileader in other views.

By contrast, duplicating the text using the COPY command would create a new instance, which doesn't solve the problem of the original text being cut off. The MOVE command shifts the entire multileader, including both the text and its leader line, which could cause it to become misaligned in the other viewports. Adjusting the viewport's annotation scale impacts all annotative objects within that viewport, and doing so may lead to a change in the appearance of other text and annotations within the same viewport or across different viewports. Thus, grip-stretch offers the precision necessary to handle the specific issue without unintended consequences in other areas.
