Leader Adds a leader object. This option is displayed only if the arc (or arc
segment) is greater than 90 degrees. The leader is drawn radially, pointing
towards the center of the arc being dimensioned.
No Leader Cancels the Leader option before the leader is created.
To remove a leader, delete the arc length dimension and recreate it without
the leader option.
