A leader line may have up to 10 gaps in it. These are most easily defined using the cursor, with either the start and end points or a mid-point and a length being specified. (In the latter case a default gap length will be assumed if a value is not specified.) Examples of the relevant commands are:
|
GAP @ |
Insert gap by specifying start and finish points with cursor |
|
GAP AT @ |
Insert gap of default length centered on cursor position |
|
GAP AT @ L 5 |
Insert 5mm gap centered on cursor position |
|
GAP OVER @ |
Insert gap by specifying start and finish points with cursor, and delete all other gaps in line |
|
GAP DELETE @ |
Delete gap specified by cursor |
|
GAP DEL ALL |
Delete all gaps on current Sheet |
|
GAP TIDY |
Deletes all unused gaps from Label |
The default gap length may be set by using the SETDEFAULT GAP command, for example:
|
SETDEF GAP 5 |
Set default gap length to be 5mm |
Gaps in Label leader lines can be sketched and erased in the same way as Dimension projection line gaps - see Detail Attributes of Linear Dimensions.
