B/D Line Label

[ryan.beisaw]

Does anyone know how I can edit my line label style to add a line between the bearing and distance in the dragged state? When I drag the label off of the line I want a line to continue from the leader between the bearing and distance. Something similar to what Ive drawn in white here....Anyone know how?? Thanks

You can add a line to the components, and then adjust the various anchor components, anchor points, and X & Y offsets to get something like this

But since you have to set the Dragged State "display" to "As Composed", this particular leader would only work when stretched to the right side. I suppose you could reverse the justifications on a separate style to make one that works when stretched to the left.

I do that quite often. I'll create a child style of the label style and call it "<insert label style name> Dragged Left" or something along those lines.
