Leader Text says its Left Justified, but its not when leader on Right side, Help

[Anonymous]

Is there a way to change when this happens?

It only happens when the leader is on the right side of the text, but the styles are set to left

How do I fix this?

Thanks 🙂

Hi Robin,

This behavior does look counter-intuitive. There is actually a setting to honor the justification in the text. Right-click on the leader text -> Edit Dimension Style -> Notes and Leaders -> go to the bottom of the dialog -> :Leader Style -> uncheck the option "Justify Text to Leader" -> Save.

Many thanks!

Kind of a hidden setting.  Thanks for helping locate it.  I was having the same struggle.

A quick question. How do you get the to apply to hole notes as well. I've applied this to my drawing and it worked on the leader text, Thanks for that one. However any hole note are now standing out because they are all right justified regardless of what side the leader is on.

Hi Chris,

Good catch! I cannot locate the setting specific to Hole Note. It does not seem that "Justify to Leader" option affects Hole Note particularly. I need to follow up with the project team and see what we can do.

Many thanks!

Hi Chris,

I must have done something wrong. Now, I cannot seem to reproduce it. The Leader Justification option does work for Hole and Thread Notes. Could you share an example that exhibits the behavior? I would like to retry it on my machine.

Many thanks!
