Ordinate Dimension components

I want control the length of the initial landing in the ordinate dimension. I have tried a lot including landing length in the leader style. I am sure it is something simple that I am just missing.

Thanks all,

Keith

When prompted for the second point use the @x,y for placement.

After I pick the initial it then ask me for the END of the leader, not a second point. Am I missing something?

Hi Keith,
What does your Leader Structure Tab look like in your MultiLeader Style?

"end of leader" is your second point, don't over-think it, just do it, nothing is going to get "broken" 😉

Based on your image, the top ordinate (no jog) would be achieved with
@-x,0
The bottom ordinate (with jog) would be achieved with
@-x,-y

Give it a try now.
