TomBiggs Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 How do you make the leader line stay horizontal when you move either the object it points to, or the text? I noticed this was the case on I think the Breckenridge Sample Project, but couldn't figure out how it was done. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 In the Leader Line dbx there's a setting for ARROW>Auto Position Head. However, if you are using an evaluated macro in the text box it might cause a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomBiggs Posted June 8, 2018 Author Share Posted June 8, 2018 Hmm. When I open up the dialog of the leader line (dbx?) I see the Auto Position greyed out. Instead I only can check the Auto Position Tail. See screenshot. I'm still in version 9. Maybe they fixed this in 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdarch47 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 I struggle with this issue often in V9 & 10 also. I turn off the auto position buttons and it seems to have no impact on the behavior. Other issues I have with leader lines is they move when I move an unrelated nearby object or worse get deleted when I delete a nearby object.....they must associate with inadvertently. I also have issues creating multiple leg leader lines....half of the time it just creates 2 leader lines instead of one continuous line. Sorry to turn this post into a mini rant on leader lines. Any enlightenment on this minor issue is greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number of segments in the Leader lines is Controlled by the Setting in Preferences >Appearance>Text>Leader Lines , the default is 2 you can also specified Rich Text (vs text) On 6/8/2018 at 10:19 AM, TomBiggs said: Hmm.

If an Item is greyed out I believe that means it is not associated with an object , the tail usually is as that is the Text... unless you don't create the Text which is possible by cancelling out the Text Input DBX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
