Change Text with a Leader
To resize a leader, stretch or scale it. Stretching modifies the offset between
the leader endpoint and its annotation. Scaling updates the scale of the
selected object only. For example, if you scale the leader, the annotation stays
in the same position relative to the leader endpoint but is not scaled itself.
Leaders can function as edges for trimming and extending, but they cannot
be trimmed or extended.
