Then…
If you want to…
specify a value for Angle to Node.
change the angle of the leader to the node
enter an offset value for First Extension.
change the offset of the leader start grip from the center of
the base curve of the layout node
enter an offset value for Second Extension.
NOTE By default the leader extensions are slightly offset so
as not to overlap the leader grip with the object location grip.
change the offset of the leader end grip from the center of
the base curve of the anchored object

Click OK.
Grip-Editing Leaders
Use this procedure to grip-edit leaders. A leader anchor connects an object to a layout node with a leader between the
two. You can change the length and shape of the leader.
A leader consists of one segment or several segments. You can change the leader shape by grip-editing the object.
You can use grips to add segments to existing leaders.
1
Select the anchored object.
2
Move the leader grip to move the leader in the appropriate direction.
3
After you release the leader, select the anchored object again.
An additional leader grip is added at the point from which the leader originally started.
4
Move the leader grip at the start of the leader line to add another segment to the leader.
5
Repeat this procedure until the leader has all the segments you need.
You can later edit the leader in the same way you edit an AutoCAD polyline.
Extending Leaders
Use this procedure to extend the leader line beyond the first and last grip points on the leader line.
1
Double-click the anchored object.
2
On the Properties palette, expand Basic, and expand Location from Node.
3
Click Anchor.
4
Edit the leader line:
Then…
If you want to extend…
in the First Extension field, enter the extension value.
the start point of the leader line
in the Second Extension field, enter the extension value.
the endpoint of the leader line
5
Click OK.
Copying Objects to All Layout Nodes
Use this procedure to copy objects to all layout nodes. You can select an AEC object and, instead of manually anchoring
it to a layout node, you can copy the object and anchor one copy to each node on a layout curve or grid.
TIP If you want the leader to be displayed in the same way at every node, first anchor the object to a single node. Adjust the
leader attributes (direction, extension, or properties), and then use the Copy to Nodes option. Next, select the object that is
anchored to the single node, and select the layout curve or grid.
1
Anchor an object to a layout node, as described in “
Adding Leader Anchors
