Control the appearance of multileaders using multileader styles.
Transcript

You can control the appearance of multi leaders by using a multi leader style.
00:09
However,
00:10
multi leader styles work a bit differently from
00:12
the way the appearance of text is controlled by
00:15
a textile or the way the appearance of
00:17
a dimension is determined by its dimension style.
00:20
This is because changing the multi leader style definition does not
00:24
affect any multi leaders that are already in the drawing.
00:28
But when you need to place some multi leaders
00:30
that include blocks and others that include text,
00:33
it is much more efficient to create a multi leader style for each type
00:37
and then use them rather than changing the multi leader options on the fly,
00:42
defining several different multi leader styles.
00:45
Also makes it easier to maintain a consistent look to your drawings
00:50
on the annotate ribbon
00:52
in the leaders panel.
00:54
When you expand the multi leader style drop down,
00:56
you can see that the drawing includes two predefined multi leader styles standard
01:02
and annotative.
01:04
Since multi leaders are created using the current style,
01:07
you should select the desired style.
01:09
Before starting the multi leader tool,
01:12
you can also create your own custom multi layer
01:15
styles
01:17
to create or modify a multi leader style
01:20
on the annotate ribbon
01:22
in the leaders panel,
01:23
click the dialogue box launcher to open the multi leader style manager
01:30
in the styles group box, you see a list of multi liter styles that already exist.
01:36
You can expand the drop down below this list to filter the list to
01:40
show all styles or just those that have already been used in the drawing.
01:46
You can then select one of the styles in the list
01:49
and then click set current to make that the current style.
01:54
You can also select any style in the list,
01:57
right click and then make it the current style, modify the style,
02:02
rename the style or delete the style
02:05
note that you cannot rename or delete the standard style.
