Add Control Points to Leaders

[sheard4EAGU]

It's now almost 2022 and we still can't have more than one control point on a leader. It would be awesome to have the ability to click a "+" ADD CONTROL POINT "-" REMOVE CONTROL POINT. When working with equipment that's itemized we need to be able to better place tags.

Many times I need a tag to be placed in a specific orientation and to achieve this 2 break points would allow me to do so. Also, the ability to make a leader a spline for visual aesthetics would be amazing.

Allow users to add multiple vertices to a leader, similar to AutoCAD. Some notes need more than one vertex/elbow to point where they need to go.

[aaronBWC]

Agreed. This would be helpful.

Thanks @aaronBWC,

That's not actually what I'm trying to accomplish. I'm looking to add multiple elbows/vertices to a single leader, not to add multiple leaders. Using multiple vertices on a leader can de-congest a part of a drawing, greatly increasing the clarity. Thanks for the feedback though.

[aaronBWC]

Right, yes, that would be helpful. I will remove my comment, as it confuses the original request.

Best,

Aaron

Great Idea, I've been wanting this for years. This would open more possibilities on where to place notes or tags and create better, more readable documents.

Let's make this happen.

Joined just so I can say this is an awesome Idea. Get on it Autodesk, Please!!!  

[wzhengCUZCC]

Totally Agree!

[ddcarper]

Absolutely, more flexibility for leaders!  

[adolan9ABS9]

yes please thanks

[jeroen.van.halderen]

You mean kindof like a leader with the geometry of a polyline, that would be awesome!

[ola6n4qrvdsr]

I miss this from AutoCAD, along with the first leader segment being fixed at 90°

I'd also add an option to use leaders like a tag, so the arrow is pinned to a model element, rather than just floating in the view.

[virginie.desmarais]

Please yes! My mecanical plans feel weird without those!

I would add a better ellipse option too, you know, a complete one, but one at a time. I'll take more leader control point anytime.

[lucy_wangG6HN3]

Yes, please have option to add control points!!!

Spline leader style

It would be nice to have options for leaders, including a spline option, which can be used for tags, keynotes and text with leaders.

TRUE that this was suggested back in 2017, but i'm taking a chance to try it again

I have seen this idea thrown around in the Autodesk forums. 

An option to add multiple vertices to create bends/elbows in tags, text, generic annotations is heavily needed for clean documentation.

@kimberly_fuhrman-jones This idea should be merged with https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-ideas/multi-point-text-leader/idi-p/8765637

Thank you!

@kimberly_fuhrman-jones, actually I found this even older one... https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-ideas/multiple-elbows-in-a-leader/idi-p/7988459 that both of these should be merged with I think.
