Leader Arrow setting!

 I'm having trouble with the leader arrow setting (version 13.1.12).  I'm trying to use a USER ARROW BLOCK, and every time I draw a leader it reverts to the default "closed filled" arrow head.  I've tried setting the user arrow block in the dimension style and in the overrides, but it doesn't work!  Setting the user blocks for dimensioning arrow heads seems to work just fine, however.  Anyone else notice this?

    I have no problems with a user arrow for leaders. You can try using DIMLDRBLK on the command line. This will create an override.

     This is not working.  I set DIMLDRBLK, and I can draw one leader with the correct block.  The next leader defaults back to the closed filled arrow head!  The setting will not remain for more than one instance!!

    @Steven,

    Issue looks to be with _QLEADER , this is re-setting the the _DIMLDRBLK value when a USER block name has been set (see attached screen grab). I would raise a support request to get this fixed. In the meantime you could use _LEADER, which isn't affected by this issue, or you could try the following bit of code to get _QLEADER working. This will set DIMLDRBLK prior to running QLEADER.

    [code](defun C:MYQUICKLEADER ()
        (setvar "_DIMLDRBLK" "MyBlockName")
        (command "._QLEADER")
    )

    (defun C:QL () (C:MYQUICKLEADER))[/code]

     Yes, this is exactly what's happening.  I've posted a support request - waiting for response.  I like using the new qleader command with mtext set to none.
