Add 2nd leader to diameter dim ?
Add 2nd leader to diameter dim ?
(OP)
Is there a way to add a second leader to a diameter dimension? So one dimension can point at two features

RE: Add 2nd leader to diameter dim ?
I do not dissagree with you, but most of my SolidWorks work is to support a tooling development team. I often create partial tooling prints and in many cases they do not comply with any formal standard because I need to expedite the work. If I used GD&T and other formal practices for this kind of work, I'd be looking for a new job. I'm no stranger to design standards, but I do not have the luxury of time within our fast paced development team. It's kind of like a "less is more" approach. I give them less information and they produce more and faster. In this case I have a tooling assembly that needs WEDM work done to two .0150 dia pins, but not the .0160 pins in the same plate. So I dimensioned one pin to verify its diameter and edited the dim text to spell out the WEDM fit and process instructions, then I just wanted to add an additional leader to point directly to the other pin.
Thanks for your response, I appreciate your comments.

Are you using the single-arrow-leader (note style) dimension or the two-leader-line (goal post) type?
