"Leader Line" parameter in all tag families

"Leader Line" parameter in all tag families

A lot of leader line snap issues could be solved if the project level yes/no parameter "Leader Line" was also embedded in or accessible in all tag families. Then we could toggle linework off or on with the leader.

 

For example, our room tags are a text name over a rectangle with a number in it. If I turn the leader on, it snaps to the edge of the text (sort of). If I could draw a line in the room tag family with visibility tied to the "Leader line" parameter in the project, I could underline the text room name if the leader is turned on. Then the leader wouldn't float out in space.

 

Better would be to create a "Leader base point" constraint or something, so users could set where the leader end snaps to.

Hi, I had the same idea for a while, and I'm happy to have found it here.

 

It would be nice to be able to place "points" and "lines" references in the tag family, so the leader will start at the good place.

 

For exemple, we use a triangle as tag for revisions and often the leader don't touch it.

If we could place specific lines and points where we want the leader to attach, it would look a lot better.

 

See image below :

Those specific references points and lines would be really useful in every other kinds of tags, not only for revision ones.

 

Edited to add :

There is an other idea really similar I think : Leader Origin Points in Tags 

 

And these where I should have written my comment, if I had found them before :

Tag / Annotation Symbol Leader location 

Custom Insertion Point(s) for Leader Tag
