Radius, Diameter, Chamfer, and Hole Callout Bent Leader Improvements

The shoulders of bent leader dimensions for radius, diameter, chamfer, and hole callout display in a consistent manner, aligning with the appropriate line of dimension text. Bends extend to meet the end of a line of text when the leader is on the side opposite to the callout justification.

Bent Leader Dimensions and Alignment

The shoulders of bent leaders for radius, diameter, chamfer, and hole callout display consistently, aligning with the appropriate line of dimension text.

  • Left- and right-sided leaders set to Top Justify center to the top line of text in the dimension.
  • Left- and right-sided leaders set to Bottom Justify center to the bottom line of text in the dimension.
  • Left-sided leaders attached to Left Justify dimension text maintain a consistent gap between the shoulder and text.

To vertically align the bent leader shoulder to the appropriate line of text, click Options > Document Properties > Dimensions, and select Apply updated rules.

If you do not select this option, vertical alignment of the bent leader shoulders display as unchanged.

Bent Leader Shoulders

A new default option lets the shoulders of bent leader dimensions meet the end of the dimension text line. Previously, when an arrow was on the opposite side of the justification (left or right), the shoulder stopped at the closest point to the bend. This option extends the shoulder to meet the line of aligned text (top or bottom).

To set the default option, click Options > Document Properties > Dimensions, and in Bent leaders select Extend to text.
