[solved] Toolbar "Text Aligned Leader" symbols missing.

[Husky]

My “Application Preference” Tool Settings for “Leader from Selected Text” and “Text Aligned Leader” are set to be visible in Tool bar and Tool matrix.

I would expect the icons would show up below the Dimension bar but can’t find them. Same with the Tool matrix. No icons displayed for the new leader tools …
I’ve seen that the script contents the icons - how can I make them visible/usable in the Tool bar?

Win10 / QCAD Version: 3.27.1.0

These tools only add themselves to the misc menu, no other widgets (toolbar or matrix).
You could add them to one of the user toolbars which should work if they have an icon.

Since they both have icons, I will add them to the Misc > Draw toolbar / matrix panel for the next release.

Yes that works but I think if we have three leader styles then they belong together within the Dimension tools. I followed also the development of those tools and noticed in an earlier station that they where already part of those bars and menus. It makes no sense to me why it has to be changed for the final tool implementation. Text-aligned leader - QCAD 'Script Add-On & Plug-in challenge' - QCAD Forum

Great. Thanks!

See:

Leader from selected text

Hi I wrote a little script. It creates a leader from the selected text. Maybe it will be useful to someone. [animation.gif] LeaderFromText.zip (3.87 KB)

Andrew has adopted it under “MiscDrawMenu”.

Text-aligned leader

Only users that have both the scripts sets installed custom will see both buttons like you intended.

First Andrew adopted 2T as a replacement for T2L … under “MiscDrawMenu”.
Later changed to both 2T & T2L.
