To create a leader note, you need to specify subsequently the positions of two points.
The first point determines the position of the witness line - the leader arrow, the
second - the position of the shelf.
The position of the second point can be defined relative to the first point of the leader
note attachment (relative to the arrow) or in the absolute coordinates. To select the
desired mode, use the option . With the option turned on, the position of the shelf
is defined relative to the leader note arrow, otherwise – in the absolute coordinates.
At the time of creation, the leader note image rubberbands with the pointer, exactly showing the final
appearance of the leader note that each moment. Upon defining the attachment points for the leader note, the
parameters dialog box appears on the screen. By defining the parameters, you will get the desired leader
note.
Both leader note points can reference a node or a graphic or construction entity. The options , , ,
and help selecting the respective elements as references. When using this mechanism, keep in mind
that attaching the second point to a construction line or node is possible only when the option is turned
off. To cancel of the active attachment-defining mode, press or right click .
To attach a leader note point to a construction entity, first select the desired entity (by clicking or using
the respective option). The entity will be highlighted, and a leader note will start rubberbanding along the
entity, following the pointer. Now, specify the position of the leader note attachment point on the entity by
clicking .
When attaching a leader note to a straight line, at least one node must exist on the line.
Attaching to a graphic entity is similar to attaching to a construction entity. In the case when the leader note
point is beyond the limits of the graphic entity, it will be positioned on the continuation of this graphic entity.
When attaching to a node, two attachment options are available: by an offset from the specified node, and
exactly at the node position. The desired mode is set using the option .
