Dimensions/Leader

[wetlands]

I have a dxf file that has some dimension/leader lines that I need to convert to the shape file. But when going to the entities when creating the line shape file the option to translate the dimension/leader box is grayed out. Why is this?
Can you please help me with this.

Hi,

The dimension/leader lines option is grayed simply because the option has been planned but not yet implemented! (And it has also been waiting for someone to say "hey we need to use this, why is it grayed out!" which you have now done.)

I believe that the implementation is not hard, and we will try and organise an update by Monday to handle it.

A workaround is to 'Explode' the dimensions in AutoCAD and then do the translation. (This may not be a feasible option if your drawing is complex and/or the Dimensions are not on their own Layer.)

best regards,
