Leader lines are displayed in either of the following ways based on the
standard set when defining the sheet.
Leader Orientation
When creating a text with leader, you can orient the leader perpendicularly
to the element to which it is associated.
To do this, you have two different possibilities:
- Either go to Tools > Snap by default (SHIFT toggles).
Then, click the Configure snapping button and select either
On orientation or Both. To orient directly
the leader perpendicularly to the associated element, press the
Shift key while clicking on the element to which you want to associate
the text with leader (previous scenario, step 3).
- Or go to Tools > Options > Drafting > Annotation and Dress-Up
tab, and check Text in the Annotation Creation
area. The text leader will be oriented perpendicularly to the geometry
by default. In this case, pressing the Shift key will let
you orient it differently.
Text Orientation
When creating a text with leader, you can make the text vertical. To
do this, hold the Ctrl key while clicking in the drawing to position
the text (previous scenario, step 3).
