Leader arrow/termination type menu

Leader arrow/termination type menu

Leader arrow/termination type menu

(OP)
Hello Guys

I have one of my users who need to add a datum leader (filled in triangle) to a drawing, nomally when you are in annotation editor, there is a little extra menu which allows you to change the type of leader terminator from the standard arrow head to a datumn triangle amonst others for example. However, even though this menu ios turned on, it is not displayed on the screen. we have tried PREFERENCES -> USER INTERFACE -> RESET WINDOW POSITION but this does not work. Has any one got any other suggestion as to why this nto working.

Many thanks in advance.

Best regards

Life shouldn't be measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the number of times when it's taken away...

RE: Leader arrow/termination type menu

Maybey the setting in the customer defaults is overruling our preferences.  Goto file --> utilities --> customer defaults.

Then under the tab Drafting - Annotation - Line/Arrow there are several options for changing this.  Also keep in mind that it could be set differently for each Default Level, like Site/Group/User.

Hope it helps.

Best regards,

Michäël.

Thanks micky, but it is the menu I can see, not the setting. It is like it is off the screen.

Ok,

try RM button on the leader from the triangle and then choose Style (not via Annotation editor), there you can change the type of leader.
Or is the question that you don't see this menu?

RE: Leader arrow/termination type menu

Just a guess, but perhaps it is affected by the drafting standard that the drawing uses (changed in customer defaults)?
