Point Specification
Draws a leader line segment to the point specified and continues to prompt
you for points and options.
Annotation
Inserts an annotation at the end of the leader line. The annotation can be
single or multiple lines of text, a feature control frame containing geometric
tolerances, or a block.
If you press Enter at the Annotation prompt without entering text first, the
following options are displayed:
Tolerance Creates a feature control frame containing geometric tolerances
using the Geometric Tolerance dialog box (see
TOLERANCE (page 1057)).
You can create datum indicators and basic dimension notation in these dialog
boxes. After you specify the geometric tolerance, LEADER ends.
Copy Copies text, a multiline text object, a feature control frame with
geometric tolerances, or a block and connects the copy to the end of the leader
line. The copy is associated with the leader line, meaning that if the copied
object moves, the end of the leader line moves with it. The display of the hook
line depends on the object copied.
The value of the current text gap (see
DIMSTYLE (page 314) or the DIMGAP
(page 1232) system variable) determines where the text and multiline text objects
are inserted. Blocks or feature control frames with geometric tolerances are
attached to the end of the leader line.
Block Inserts a block at the end of the leader line. The prompts are the same
as for
INSERT (page 519). The block reference is inserted at an offset from the
end of the leader line and is associated to the leader line, meaning that if the
block moves, the end of the leader line moves with it. No hook line is
displayed.
