Text leader with Tick does not work

Bret,
It sound like the only reason it works in an existing file, is that you have that dimension style already defined in the drawing. Take a look at the link below on saving your Dimstyle into your Preference Set. Doing this should allow you to place your desired look into a fresh drawing at the proper size.

Saving Your Dimstyle into Land F/X

If you are still having troubles, feel free to send in the drawing and data files in question through our Support System and we can point you in the right direction.

Submitting a support ticket

To further confuse me, if i completely close out of F/X CAD and restart it and open a new drawing the tick will work correctly on that drawing. BUT when I open one of the drawings that it doesn't work AND than start a new drawing that drawing will not display the tick correctly. So the first new drawing I open will work correctly but after opening an existing drawing and starting a second new drawing that new drawing will not work correctly.

I guess the best option is to submit a support ticket. We haven't changed any of our preferences in quite a while.

Bret,
This could be stemming from your dwg template that is used when starting a new drawing. Try this:
Open a blank drawing, type "PRG" in the command line and press Enter. Try placing the leader, does it come in normal or small?

If you are still unsuccessful then yes, please send in your ticket and we can do a little more digging.

That was unsuccessful as well. I submitted a request.

We received it, thank you. We will take a look and let you know what we find. I will handle all remaining correspondence through the ticket you opened. You can then follow up through the forum on the solution it you would like.

Thank you.
