NX6 Add Leader
NX6 Add Leader
(OP)
I cannot figure out how to add a leader to a label in NX6.
The label currently has a leader with it and I want to add another one, but when I try to select the location for the new leader the existing leader moves to that point.
I checked the doc, but it wasn't much help.

Type
Add New Set (greyed out)

If it doesn't, try going to the header tool of the dialog, and toggling the 3rd item from the left.

RE: NX6 Add Leader
when Inventor or... offer this option (the solution to replace)? The other thing is that standards in companies are not common standard they're only orientating at common standards.

Make two annotations with leaders (one right side, one left side) and align them on top of each other.

When we all worked on the board (well some of us can remember when we did), Standards could only be 'encouraged', but now that we can 'enforce' them, why would we not want to?

The problem with a standrad for modeling is that each software vendor would need some minor corrections/changes to fit their own modeling design guidelines that the software is designed to produce.

I'm aware there are company standards for that sort of thing and an across the board industry standard for modeling practices is impractical if not downright impossible.
I've enjoyed the 'sharing well constructed CAD models' thread, but I have often thought about adding a 'poorly constructed' model to illustrate the dark side of associativity (I've not had the time to construct a spectacularly convoluted part to share publicly, though I have seen many in circulation).
