Activate a tag function. Than before placing the tag set the proper length.

This (default) length will be kept during the session or until you change it to a different value

Please mention Revit version, especially when uploading Revit files.

Hi @Anonymous

 

Hope you are well. Smiley Happy

 

Further to what @L.Maas suggested, which is exactly where you change it, I would like to add the following which gets overlooked. 

 

If you have 100x Windows already tagged with say 10mm leaders and want everything to be 5mm leaders. Then you select all instances in the view, delete it, then go to Annotate >> Tag >> TAG ALL, then follow the image below:

I hope this helps! Smiley Happy

That is the answer Rudi!

 

For years I wanted to change the default leader length.  And there it is, buried in the TAG ALL command.

 

Many thanks.

Hi

 

As a follow-up on this question - is there any way to change the std. 12.7 mm? I know as described, that you can change it before tagging - But you have to do that every time you use the tag-command.. Is it possible to make a custom leader-lenght as std.?
