Leader Note

A Leader Note is a text annotation with a leader arrow pointing from the text to the feature being annotated. Use it for callouts that need to attach to specific geometry — material callouts on a section, dimension references, construction notes pointing to specific locations, revision callouts.

For free-floating text without an arrow, use Text instead.

Content

Text: The note content. Multi-line is supported for longer callouts.

Size: Font size in real units.

Arrow Size: Size of the leader arrow head. Larger arrows for top-of-sheet callouts; smaller for dense detail areas.

Text Align V: Vertical alignment of the text relative to its anchor point: Top, Middle, or Bottom.

Placement

A leader note has two anchor points — the text position and the leader's tip (where the arrow points). Drag either to reposition.

For multi-segment leaders (where the arrow needs to bend around other geometry), drag the leader's intermediate handle to add a kink.

Styling

Color / Thickness: Color and weight of the leader line and arrow.

Level: Layer assignment.

Notes

For material callouts (e.g., Class A Concrete, ASTM A572 Gr. 50), keep the text concise — long material specs belong in a notes block, not on a leader.

For revision callouts referencing a Revision Cloud, use a small Note inside the cloud or with its leader pointing at the revised area, plus a revision-block reference somewhere on the sheet.
