Grouping a Box around Text in a drawing.

[dbower1]

Should be simple...

I have a note with a leader. I draw a box around the text. Create a draft group of the Box, Text (including the leader.) Everything moves together as it should.

Make a change to the model... the text jumps outside of the box. Have to explode the group, move everything back, re-group. There's gotta be a better way!

Thanks!

David

Use @[ in front of your text to start boxed text, use @] to end the box.

There are a bunch of commands like that....

You could create it as a symbol.

I was going to recommend @[<text>@] but you said you included the leader. This just does the text. I would recommend a symbol.

The @[ works well, but it when you have a return and continue on the next line, it creates a box for each line. It there a way to have it just create a box around the whole paragraph.
