Visibility Parameter - Detecting whether leader comes to the left or right

Is there a formula for checking to see where the leader is coming off the left or right of the placed tag?

 

I'm trying to do a visibility parameter for if the leader comes off the right then only parameters that should be showing show while the parameters that have to do with the left don't show, and vise versa if I change what side the leader comes off. (this instance would be for a landing since I'm making it it comes off the top tag in my family)

there is no parameter that i know of to track that. the leader is placed from the center of the tags "extents" (midpoint Left, Right, Top or Bottom). As you move the tag/leader it will automatically snap to the nearest midpoint. Imagine there is a invisible box around the drawn/displayed contain of the tag.  That box is what the leader will use to snap to.

Yes I know that. That is why I added an invisible line so the middle will always be at that location.

 

The question was for if there is a formula/command that can be put in the formula to find what side the leader is coming from.

Hello,

 

Tags can´t change their visibility according to any parameter value from the host.

This is an old request.
