    <title>idea &amp;quot;Leader Line&amp;quot; parameter in all tag families en Revit Ideas</title>

    <description>&lt;P&gt;A lot of leader line snap issues could be solved if the&amp;nbsp;project level yes/no parameter "Leader Line" was also embedded in or accessible in all tag families. Then we could toggle linework off or on with the leader.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;For example, our room tags are a text name over a rectangle with a number in it. If I turn the leader on, it snaps to the edge of the text (sort of). If I could draw a line in the room tag family with visibility tied to the "Leader line" parameter in the project, I could underline the text room name if the leader is turned on. Then the leader wouldn't float out in space.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Better would be to create a "Leader base point" constraint or something, so users could set where the leader end snaps to.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi, I had the same idea for a while, and I'm happy to have found it here.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;It would be nice to be able to place "points" and "lines" references in the tag family, so the leader will start at the good place.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;For exemple, we use a triangle as tag for revisions and often the leader don't touch it.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If we could place specific lines and points where we want the leader to attach, it would look a lot better.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;See image below :&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Leader Tag reference.jpg" style="width: 787px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1102975i8EBDFFCED510F220/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="Leader Tag reference.jpg" alt="Leader Tag reference.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Those specific references points and lines would be really useful in every other kinds of tags, not only for revision ones.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Edited to add :&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;There is an other idea really similar I think : &lt;U&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;A href="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-ideas/leader-origin-points-in-tags/idi-p/11009205" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Leader Origin Points in Tags&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/U&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;And these where I should have written my comment, if I had found them before :&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;U&gt;&lt;A href="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-ideas/tag-annotation-symbol-leader-location/idi-p/7438315" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Tag / Annotation Symbol Leader location&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;U&gt;&lt;A href="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-ideas/custom-insertion-point-s-for-leader-tag/idi-p/7364191" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Custom Insertion Point(s) for Leader Tag&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
