Persistent Default Leader Location for Text Notes

Persistent Default Leader Location for Text Notes

Currently in Revit, the leader attachment point for Text Notes (e.g., top-left, middle, bottom-right) does not persist between sessions. While the "Create Similar" tool retains the leader configuration temporarily within the same session, this preference resets to the default center attachment every time Revit is closed and reopened. This requires repetitive manual adjustment for every new text note if a different leader origin is preferred (e.g., always from the top-left corner).

This lack of persistence slows down documentation workflows and introduces inconsistency across sheets. Ideally, users should be able to:

  • Set a default leader attachment point (e.g., top-left) for all new Text Notes

  • Save this preference in the Revit.ini, project template, or user interface settings

  • Optionally control this via View Templates or Text Note Types

Please consider exposing leader attachment defaults as a configurable setting. It would significantly streamline workflows and eliminate repetitive UI steps.

I like the sound of this.

 

If text could be fixed so that it doesn't change configuration when it is mirrored when a leader is present that would be nice too.

Also would be great if the second part of leader line could snap to set degree increments, like 15, 30 & 45 degrees.
