Adjusting Leader origins for Data Tags


Recommended Posts

Hi all! Is there a way to change the origin or orientation of the arc leaders that connect data tags to their assets? I can easily move the terminus of the leader to touch the device as needed, but in many instances the origin of the leader needs to be tweaked to make things look nice. However the only way I've found to do so is by editing the symbol of the data tag, which is universal. Thanks for any help you can provide!

If you go into the settings button in the OIP of there are a couple of settings that you can play with to move the start of the leader line within the Data Tag. Take a look at shoulder length as that will adjust the length of the beginning of the leader line for that particular tag. Those settings should be set to by instance so that each tag can be changed to have different parameters. You can also change the type of leader line used from these settings. It may not produce the desired result that you seek but it is definitely worth playing with to see how things change with the different parameters.
