Auto Keynote Tool Question

Good morning,

I’ve created a script that adds keynotes to block references and so far, it works perfectly. There are two elements to the script I’d like to add (if possible):

  1. I’d like the user to be able to specify where the keynote text will be placed relative to the block reference (top left, bottom left, top right, & bottom right) but right now if you specify that you want the text on the right side of the block the leader crosses the text as shown below:

    Does anyone know how I can fix this? I’d like the keynote to look like this:

  2. I’m wondering if there is a node that allows a second leader to be added to the keynote.

See the script, spreadsheet, and CAD files attached.

Thanks!

Normally when I generate keynotes they will not have this crossing issue regardless of the offset side. I would suggest looking into your mleader style. It should automatically justify I believe.
