Hi! Yes, this is controlled by Leader style. Go to Manage -> Styles -> Leader -> find the active leader style -> change the color.

Many thanks!

Hi Johnson,

Thanks for your prompt response. Earlier I have tried that way . Created a new leader style and applied, but it hasn't come to the drawing view. Image attached.

Hi! Please attach the example here. It should work. Either the correct style was not changed or there is a bug.

Many thanks!

Hi! Like I suspected, you change the leader style which is not associated with the leader. The active leader style in your file is actually "General (ANSI)", not "Alternate (ANSI) - RED COLOR."

Many thanks!

General ANSI is belong to the leader, but when I change the color, the weld symbol leader also change. But I need to change Text Leader only.

I created a new leader style from General ANSI and changed the color to Red, But I don't know how to apply this New Style to Existing text leader.

Hello @lkirit2000 you are very close,

Style Editor > Dimension > New Style (Copy of).

Change Notes and Leaders > Leader Style to the one you created Alternate (ANSI) - RED COLOR

Is that what you're trying to accomplish?

Hi! Another way to do that is to create a new layer with red color. Then assign the annotation to the layer instead of the default layer.

Many thanks!

Good idea @johnsonshiue you could change the layer and then change the text color.
