Label Leader Attributes

The options to set the Leader Line style and colour are common to several different types of primitive in Draft. Styles and colours can be set in two ways: either Standard or User Defined. Standard options of colour, thickness and style are set explicitly by selecting system defined settings from the dropdown lists. User-defined options are selected from examples displayed on a form.

Note: Changing the style and colour only affects the current Label. If the attributes are to be changed for any new Labels that have been created, the Layer attributes will need to be changed. A new label will then have to be created to see the effect.

1. Select the label to make it the Current Element.

2. Select Modify > Label > Definition from the main menu.

   The Labels form is displayed.

   

3. Select Leader Line from the Attributes dropdown list.
