Parameters

LeaderStyle

Leader style as defined in swLeaderStyle_e

LeaderSide

Leader side as defined in swLeaderSide_e

SmartArrowHeadStyle

True to enable smart arrowhead style, false to disable it

Perpendicular

True to enable perpendicular bent leader display, false to disable it

AllAround

True to enable all around symbol display, false to disable it

Dashed

True to enable dashed line leader display; false to enable solid-line leader

Return Value

Not all annotations support all styles of leaders or leader characteristics. Only notes, GTols, surface finish symbols, weld symbols, datum target symbols, and block instances support leaders of any kind.

• Weld symbol leaders can be hidden, but are always bent; straight leaders (swSTRAIGHT) are not supported.

• Datum target symbols can have straight or bent leaders, but cannot be hidden (swNO_LEADER is not supported).

• Only notes support underline leaders (swUNDERLINED).

• GTols are the only type of annotation that supports perpendicular bent leaders.

• GTols and weld symbols are the only types of annotations that support all around leader symbols.

• Datum target symbols are the only type of annotation that supports dashed leaders.

This method sets the characteristics of the annotation, not the individual leaders. You can get or set these characteristics whether or not leaders are displayed.

You can set the leader side, smart arrowhead style, and bent leader values at any time. However, if leader display is disabled, you cannot affect the display of the annotation by setting these values. You can also set the perpendicular bent leader and all around symbol display at any time, but if bent leaders are disabled, you cannot affect the display of the annotation by setting these values.

The return status of this operation can have the following values:

• 0   Leader characteristics were successfully set

• -1  Leader characteristics were not set because of an unknown error

• -2  Leader attachment side setting is invalid

• -3  Leaders are not supported on this type of annotation

• -4  Leaders cannot be disabled on this type of annotation

• -5  Bent leaders cannot be disabled on this type of annotation

• -6 Underline style leaders are not allowed on this type of annotation

If leader display is enabled, then this method changes the visible model.
