Custom Leader

[Anonymous]

Is there an easy way to create this as one entity that would allow me to move the arrowheads closer and futher apart as needed?

This is two leaders with separate text. Would prefer one leader, with 2 arrows, and text cetnered.

Is this what you're looking for? or would you also like to be able to extend the arrow heads up/down?

Thanks for the quick reply. Very Nice. Would be wonderful to be able to extent the arrows up and down as well... 

Can you explain how you did that please?

It is a lot of messing around with bedit, the first block was simply an aligned parameter with 2 grips, 2 move actions and 2 stretch actions and since you always wanted the text in the middle, under the properties of the move actions, you can change the ratio to .5 rather than one; assuring it only moves half the distance of the move command.

the stretch actions are all about the location of the stretch box. The strech box will strech any objects VERTEX that is ONLY inside of the stretchbox. took me a while to understand this concept.

From there, just try to understand the objects to include in the selection set of the stretch commands and the location of the stretch frame. 

As for this second block... itll take a lot of explaining and i dont think i have the time while I'm on the clock at work  lol

Crosspost. Was figuring it out while you were -  I amanged to get what I need with just one block. Not bad. (I don't use these dynamic blocks much.)

i think you inserted the block with the "exploded" checkbox selected

tweaked it a bit more - since it's an "aligned" dim, I don't wan the arrows to be able to move independently.

Great align callout! But allow me to make an additional request. A user should be able to click a point parameter at each grips to move either arrows as necessary horizontally. This would also mean adding another point at the other arrow. Maybe a constraint might be requires.
