WisDOT multileader styles

Last updated: 2021-11-05

Overview

The WisDOT Civil 3D standards require custom AutoCAD multileader styles. WisDOT custom multileader styles reside in a multileader style component file that is included in the WisDOT Civil 3D resource files.

Warning: Altering WisDOT component files and directories may result in lost functionality. Contact CAE Support for more information.

Info:

When starting a project from a WisDOT template, the WisDOT templates are purged of all WisDOT standards components except those necessary for WisDOT Civil 3D Styles. To add all WisDOT standards components groups at once (symbol blocks, dimension styles, layers, linetypes, multileaders, and textstyles) use Add All Components. Each WisDOT standards component group can also be added individually to a drawing.

User component files can be created and stored in C:\WisDOT\Stnd\users\Myc3d20xx\

New custom multileader style requests can be directed to the WisDOT Civil 3D Futures Trello board for review and consideration.

Multileader style component files

The WisDOT multileader style component file consists of an AutoCAD drawing. The file is located in: C:\WisDOT\Stnd\C3D20xx\Components\Dimensions

  • Mleaderstyles.dwg is a drawing displaying all the WisDOT custom multileader styles in model space.

Specific WisDOT custom multileader style use cases can be found in the Plan production section of the C3DKB.

The available multileader styles in an active DWG can be found at:

  • Ribbon > Annotate tab > Leaders panel > Multileader Style dropdown

  • Ribbon > WisDOT Sheets tab > WisDOT Annotation panel > Multileader Style dropdown

To add all the WisDOT custom multileader styles to a drawing as a group, use the Multileaders Add component group command.

WisDOT custom multileader styles can be added to a drawing individually from the drawing tools in the Multileader palette group.

The current multileader style can be set by using the WisDOT Multileader style picker and tool.
