As the pointer approaches characteristic points on the GD&T symbol box, object
snapping activates, allowing creating a 2D node at such a point and making an
attachment to it. In this way, one can attach the new GD&T symbol to a
characteristic point of another GD&T symbol . In this case, a 2D node will
be created on the selected GD&T symbol. Respectively, you can select an
attachment point on the GD&T symbol being created (see “GD&T Symbol
parameters”).
Creating Leader or GD&T Symbols with Leader
To create a leader or a GD&T symbol with a leader, use the automenu icon or type the key . The
pointer then turns into the respective shape, and the following set of options become available in the
automenu:
Set Leader Note parameters
Set relation with Line
Select GD&T Symbol
Set relation with Dimension
Execute Edit Leader Note command
Exit command
A GD&T symbol with a leader can be attached to a construction line or a graphic line, or to a dimension. To
do this, select the appropriate element – either by the mouse, using the object snapping, or by typing on the
keyboard (see the table of commands).
Upon selecting a line, a GD&T symbol with a leader starts rubberbanding. To fix the GD&T symbol
position, click .

When attaching to a line, the leader is drawn orthogonal to the selected line.
