You need to make any style changes for 3d annotation in your drawings as the styles are not exposed in the part files as that functionality has yet to be finished/implemented properly..

See message 4 of 4 here..

Aha, I checked...it seems like these style in drawing and assembly are not connecting. I tried to import to the styles editor and it not working. So I can´t make it if I understood right. I have this in assembly.

Can you recomended me please any other way how to make smaller leader arrows? because looks really big awful in compare to spiral and container on picture.

Thank you for answer.

Hi! You will need to edit the 3DA style in drawing style library editor. You need to have these styles in the library. Then start a new drawing or open any drawing. Go to Manage -> Styles and Standards -> Styles Editor -> Leader -> find the 3DA leader style -> Size.

Many thanks!

Hi! The 3DA styles are in the library already. The snapshot you took is based on the Library view. To edit the style, simply find the 3DA leader style and make the change to leader settings. Then save the change. Please note that the change is saved to the "local" 3DA style in the drawing. If you want the change to be permanent in the library, you will need to save the style back to the library. To do that, you will need to close all files and go to Get Started -> Project -> Use Style Library -> set it to Read and Write. Next, open the file containing the local style change. Go to Manage -> Style and Standard -> Save -> save the change to the library.

Many thanks!
