Fusion 360 - Drawing from 3D Design - Leader Note Keeps Disappearing
I would not use Leader Notes to add callouts for threaded holes or holes. Use the Hole and Thread Note tool.
Sorry about the initial screen in the video, the Screencast caught my second screen for a second.

You are correct, if you use the Thread tool to apply threads to holes. I would suggest using the Hole tool to create tapped holes and then it work perfectly. For threaded rod and special threaded holes you will have to return to your Leader Note. If you create a hole using Extrude, I suggest you use the normal Auto Dimension tool in the drawing environment, it normally does what your need and remember if you need to add to the dimension callout, double click on it to add tolerance, notes, symbols, etc.

I am sorry for you issue but I cannot replicate it on my side. I have create new and used existing drawing but Leader Notes do not give me any issues. You say you are clicking off, does this mean you are clicking in the background or are you selecting the Close icon in the dialog box. Both do not give me issues but you should try both just to see it is makes a difference. If this continues from you, I suggest you start a new forum thread and post a video of your problem and supply both the model and the drawing you are using. You can export the model and drawing easily from the A360 database after you have save your drawing. The file will be a F3Z file extension.

Supplying your model explained it all. You are using Modelled threads on your component. This is causing the issue since the Leader Note cannot find an edge to attach to. There is no need to have model threads in a 2D drawing, in fact it is less clear than simplified threads. Take off the modelled thread option in your design and all works a normal.

I think so there can be a mistake how you made it... I was able to add leader note in my own design...
Also there is a type of Leader not named Hole and Thread Note. But that is not working in your and mine too... No point or line is being selected....
Hole and Thread notes will not work on "placed threads" using the Thread command. They only work on holes and threads created with the Hole command.

Okay sir.. I did not know that... Thanks for the Information...
And sir, in the above screencast you said that leader note was not working on Modelled Thread. But the image I attached has a Modelled Thread... And Leader Note is working..
I did not say it will never work, on his model it was giving him an issue and he needed to get the drawing out. In his case is was the best alternative. As a past designer and detailer, you do not want to use modelled threads in a 2D drawing for callouts anyway.
