Multiple Leader Lines to the Annotation Tool


Recommended Posts

Yes please!

Since my callouts typically have a specific color / end marker / class, my current process is to create a callout, then hold Ctrl+Alt and click on the callout to pick up its attributes, then hit 2 for the line tool and draw the additional leader lines.

Alternatively, you can draw the additional lines then use the eyedropper to tool to grab the attributes from the callout.

Besides efficiency of creation, one major advantage of a single callout with multiple leader lines would be the ability to move the callout and have all the leaders lines stick to it. Currently I move the callout then have to manually adjust the additional lines.

It would be useful to have the ability to create multiple leader lines in one annotation.

Another idea for anyone using VW2016 the simple workaround is to duplicate the callout and then delete the text and just leave the line, you can then point it to where you want
