generic annotation

arkitek2ss — Tue, 22 Jan 2019 17:51:51 GMT

is there a way to add generic annotations to a view similar to keynotes where you select the start of the leader and then place the generic annotation symbol? or is it just add the GAnno and copy it and adjust the leaders as needed?

What about using symbols? You can attach leader that way.

still need to readjust the leader. I was thinking like a keynote or a tag.

Not following. What's the Generic Annotation doing? Is it just text notes? Or, is it pulling information from something? Or, is it just a symbol?

No. keynotes or Tags are pointing to specific host so that you can start form the leader. A symbol doesn't point to anything so you have to place it first then add/adjust the leader.

@arkitek2ss: Why don't you add to your Keynote File then?
