Hi Tricia,

You can always set arrow size for already created leader in Properties Palette, just select leader object, verify that "All" properties option is active on the top of the properties Palette and look for arrow size property.
If you need to set arrow size for newly created leaders -it all depends on what command you are using:
- for leaders you want to create with MLEADER command you need to modify current MLEADER style (menu Format -> Mleader Style -> Format tab
- for leaders you want to create with LEADER command you meet to modify current Dimension Style: add subdimension style for Leaders (if you don't have it), then modify arrow size for this style.
I'd suggest you to use MLEADER command, the leaders created with it are more flexible and have more editing options:

Hi Maxim!

Okay, I see where to create the multi leader and the style box. So I created a style. But when I click on the button (for lack of a better word) It asks in the prompt "what style" it never lets me click and drag to create a leader... ???

I entered standard and annotative but nothing happened. I attached a screen shot.

Thanks! Tricia

Looks like you are trying to use wrong button on the Tool Sets palette,

you should use:

Or you can call MLEADER command with MLD alias from keyboard - type MLD with no command active and hit Return.

Hello, When I used that button I could change the text size but not the arrow size. I opened the properties palette but there wasn't a place to adjust the arrow size. ???

As I wrote in my first post, you need at first switch to "All" option in the Properties Palette, then you will see:

And will be able to change arrowhead size.

Okay, I finally clicked on the right button. I kept switching to "ALL" at the top but it wasn't showing up. Ah... now it is. Software can be so frustrating. Thank you once again for your patient answers!!! 😃

Cheers!
