When attaching with an offset (the option is turned off), the<br />

first click defines the node to which the leader note will be<br />

attached. The node will be highlighted, and a dashed line will start<br />

rubberbanding between the node and the pointer. The next click<br />

will define the offset with respect to the selected node. You can<br />

enter the exact values of the offsets along the X and Y-axes by<br />

using the option .<br />

Leader Notes<br />

With the option turned on, the leader note point is attached<br />

directly to the node. In this case, simply select the attachment node<br />

by clicking once.<br />

The leader note shelf is attached to a node in a similar way. Both<br />

points of a leader note can be attached to the same node.<br />

Leader note parameters are defined in the command properties window before finishing the leader note<br />

creation (that is, before specifying the position of the leader note second snap point). Note parameters<br />

include the contents of text lines, the leader note style, the font parameters, etc. Besides that, you can specify<br />

an exact position of the leader note snap points in the properties window (either by entering absolute<br />

coordinates of the points or by offsets relative to selected snap elements).<br />

Analogues to dimensions, leader note parameters can be assigned by copying them from existing leader note<br />

with option . See chapter “Dimensions” for more details.<br />

Leader Note Parameters<br />

The dialog in the command's properties window contains all main parameters of a leader note. For working<br />

convenience, the dialog is divided into several sections.<br />

«Coordinates» Section<br />

The first section, “Coordinates” contains the fields to define the exact coordinates of leader note snap<br />

points. The current coordinates are dynamically tracked as the cursor moves in the drawing window.<br />

Depending on the method of leader note snapping, different types of coordinates may be displayed in this<br />

section. For example, in the case of the free snap used for both points, the absolute coordinates of both snap<br />

points are displayed in the properties window. When using free snapping with the shelf being snapped to the<br />

arrow, the offsets dx and dy will be used for the second point, relative to the first point, etc.<br />
