Creating a Block-Based Annotation with a Leader
Use this procedure to add a block-based symbol with a leader that points to
any point you specify in the drawing area.
NOTE These instructions are based on one of the annotation tool configurations
provided with the software. Depending on customization, the same tool may or
may not appear on your Annotation tool palette. However, the same basic
procedure applies to any annotation tool configuration in which the Content type
is set to Block, the Leader type is set to Straight, and the Symbol and Symbol
location properties specify a block-based symbol that is accessible to the tool.
Leader properties can be modified on the Tool Properties worksheet of the
annotation tool. Any unspecified properties use the leader settings in effect for
the current drawing, which can be modified using the Leader Settings dialog box.
1 On the Annotation tool palette, click the Square (Straight Leader)
tool.
Click Annotate tab ➤ Keynoting panel ➤ Text
drop-down ➤ Square (Straight Leader).
2 Specify the starting point for the leader. (This determines where
the leader arrow is displayed.)
3 Specify one or more additional points to create the desired leader,
and then press ENTER.
The symbol and its default attribute value are inserted at the end
of the leader, and the Edit Attributes dialog box is displayed. (If
a limit has been set for the number of leader points, this happens
as soon as you specify the last point within the limit.)
4 In the Edit Attributes dialog box, edit the ID attribute text as
desired, and then click OK.
The edited attribute text is displayed within the symbol.
