Hello! I’m hoping to create a python node that outputs the arrowhead coordinates of selected mleaders. Is this possible?

@mparks8G2XN this is available in v4.2.0. [leader_points]

Have you checked the Camber nodes? In any case here is the API for MLeader: Help I don’t use them much so I dont know if the Block position will correspond to the arrowhead coordinates. I will say that it depends what the insertion point is for block but will expect it to be something like the arro…

I did, sadly the BlockPosition node gets the position of content block (like a hex tag) instead of the leader arrowhead position. You can write a lisp routine to get leader head location per the Autodesk Forum . I assume you can do the same in Dynamo and the documentation states that a Leader.Firs…

You bet! See my test script attached. Mleader Arrowhead Point.dyn (6.3 KB)

Presuming you would select an object with the Dynamo Select Object node you can get the vertex via Dynamo with the following: def get_selected_leader(dyn_object): with adoc.LockDocument(): with adoc.Database as db: with db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction() as t: res = None …

Awesome mzjensen ! Thanks everyone for the help!

This new MLeader.LeaderPoints node v4.2.0 is exactly what I’m looking for! Thank you @zachri.jensen !

Hi @zachri.jensen , I’m using the MLeader.LeaderPoints node but I’m not sure which node to input into it. When I use select objects, it reads this… [image]

You’ll need a Convert to Camber Object node first.

@mparks8G2XN I added a new node to Camber for you. I’ll try to get the new version out soon.
