tag length

When the ID tags are displayed, the lines undere them are much longer than the tags themselves. If the tag is '6.00 IDE' for instance, which may take 4' in scale (1/2") the horizontal line under it on the leader line is something like 10' (1"+) in scale, much more than is needed. This makes getting tags into tight places difficult. I can't seem to change this with the polygon edit tool, just its placement. Is there a way to change the segment length?

I'm talking about the plants tags that automatically generate using the plant placement tool. I think the proper name of the line part is the 'shoulder.' I can see that when using the ID tool you can change the shoulder length. Is there a way to do it with the other kind?

The tags that are contained in the Plant object have a shoulder length that can be set by the user. Here's how:

1. Open the "Create Plug-in" command from the Organize menu.

2. Scroll the list to "Plant" and select it.

3. Click on the "Strings..." button.

4. Click on the list entry, "4000-Numeric Strings".

5. Click on the Edit button.

6. Click on string 4002.

7. Click on the Edit button.

8. Enter a value that is your desired shoulder length in inches.

9. Click OK several times to exit the command.
