These lines are ugly, they clutter the drawing up and they make laying out the dimensions far more fiddly.&nbsp;</P><P><BR />Please give us an option to turn these off and just do normal leader lines as before. All drawings that have been created in the last few weeks are now covered in these lines and its led to an inconsistency and confusion with inspection and in the machine shop. They are not necessary and they do nothing but make drawings untidy, confusing and slow to create.<BR /><BR />Please give us a tick box we can untick to turn these off!&nbsp;<BR /><BR />Thanks.&nbsp;</P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="peteGCAB6_0-1610359780317.png" style="width: 400px;"><img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/864894iAA29317AD4A11033/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="peteGCAB6_0-1610359780317.png" alt="peteGCAB6_0-1610359780317.png" /></span></P><P>&nbsp;</P> Mon, 11 Jan 2021 10:10:11 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/please-get-rid-of-new-leader-line-layout-in-fusion-drawings/m-p/9992575#M93106 peteGCAB6 2021-01-11T10:10:11Z Re: Please get rid of new leader line layout in Fusion drawings https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/please-get-rid-of-new-leader-line-layout-in-fusion-drawings/m-p/9992659#M93107 <P>I believe this happens when you select a previous dimension line as a base for a new dimension. Fusion expects you to be chaining dims when you do this thus the leaders. If you select part geometry for your dims this wont happen.</P> Mon, 11 Jan 2021 10:42:34 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/please-get-rid-of-new-leader-line-layout-in-fusion-drawings/m-p/9992659#M93107 carl.j.barker 2021-01-11T10:42:34Z Re: Please get rid of new leader line layout in Fusion drawings https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/please-get-rid-of-new-leader-line-layout-in-fusion-drawings/m-p/9992689#M93108 Sadly that does not seem to be the case. It does this for new dimensions on<BR />part geometry. It does it automatically where the gap between the leader<BR />lines is too small to fit the text in between. Usually, it would just<BR />extend the line out and put the dimension on that, but now its doing these<BR />weird elbow things sticking out the side.<BR /> Mon, 11 Jan 2021 11:00:20 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/please-get-rid-of-new-leader-line-layout-in-fusion-drawings/m-p/9992689#M93108 peteGCAB6 2021-01-11T11:00:20Z Re: Please get rid of new leader line layout in Fusion drawings https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/please-get-rid-of-new-leader-line-layout-in-fusion-drawings/m-p/9992795#M93109 <P>Ok, looks like your using an ASME template, I tend to use the ISO one and get the dims how you'd like them.&nbsp;</P> Mon, 11 Jan 2021 12:02:20 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/please-get-rid-of-new-leader-line-layout-in-fusion-drawings/m-p/9992795#M93109 carl.j.barker 2021-01-11T12:02:20Z Re: Please get rid of new leader line layout in Fusion drawings https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/please-get-rid-of-new-leader-line-layout-in-fusion-drawings/m-p/9992813#M93110 Interesting, ill check that.<BR /> Mon, 11 Jan 2021 12:12:20 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/please-get-rid-of-new-leader-line-layout-in-fusion-drawings/m-p/9992813#M93110 peteGCAB6 2021-01-11T12:12:20Z Re: Please get rid of new leader line layout in Fusion drawings https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/please-get-rid-of-new-leader-line-layout-in-fusion-drawings/m-p/9992821#M93111 <P>I am alrady using ISO templates which is where the problem is occuring.&nbsp;<BR /><BR /></P><P>&nbsp;</P> Mon, 11 Jan 2021 12:17:10 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/please-get-rid-of-new-leader-line-layout-in-fusion-drawings/m-p/9992821#M93111 peteGCAB6 2021-01-11T12:17:10Z Re: Please get rid of new leader line layout in Fusion drawings https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/please-get-rid-of-new-leader-line-layout-in-fusion-drawings/m-p/10040995#M93112 <P>Yes please give an option to turn this off!&nbsp;</P><P>Also please add better control for dimtext placement on the outside of the extension lines.</P> Fri, 29 Jan 2021 08:04:57 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/please-get-rid-of-new-leader-line-layout-in-fusion-drawings/m-p/10040995#M93112 info7JY2S 2021-01-29T08:04:57Z
