«Leader» Section
374
The “Leader” section serves to define all parameters of the leader note shelf.
Those include:
Text. This is the text on the leader note shelf.
When defining this and other text parameters of a leader note, you
can use variables by entering them in curly brackets (braces). Details
on that are given for dimensions and text.
Text Under. This is the text under the leader note shelf.
Size. It defines the length of the leader note shelf in certain units. If the
“Default” value is used, it will automatically assume the length of the text
line.
Thickness. Defines the thickness of leader lines. If the parameter value is set
to “Default”, it is calculated based on the “Line thickness|Other lines”
parameter defined in the command “ST: Set Model Status” (the tab
“Lines”).
Corner. Defines the type of the leader shelf (see the figure on the right).
Standard. Serves to define the leader style standard. There are two
standards for leaders - ANSI or BS/DIN/ISO. If this parameter is set to
“Default”, then leader notes will follow the standard specified in the
command “ST: Set Model Status” (“Dimensions|Standart|Leader
Notes”)
Clear Backgroung. When this parameter is enabled, the drawing image
behind the leader shelf (shelves) is erased.
Increment by 1. This parameter is available only at the time of creating a
leader note. It serves to quickly define BOM items. A number should
appear on the shelf instead of text – a BOM item reference number. When
the next leader is created, the former current number is automatically
incremented by one.
For details about creating BOM item references, refer to the chapter “Bill of Materials”.
«Arrow» Section
The “Arrow” section contains leader note arrow parameters:
Text. Text on the leader arrow.
Text Under. Text under the leader arrow.
Arrow. Defines the arrow type at the start of the leader line. An arrow type
is selected from the list, which is mostly same as the list of arrows used in
the dimension and graphic line creation commands.
In the case of the leader notes, the list is appended with two special arrow
types: and . For these arrow types, two parameters are displayed
instead of the “Size” parameter described below – “Length” and “Height”.
By varying those parameter values, you can get leader notes with a
rectangle- or oval-shape tip of arbitrary size and aspect ratio.
Size. Defines the arrow size at the start of the leader line. If the “Default”
