edit location of text leader NX(

[64polara]

Working in NX9 and having an issue reassociating a leader from an ID symbol and text or note.
when attempting to reassociate to an edge of a diameter (ie washer) or possibly a radius, when reselecting the terminating object the diameter circle appears and wants to place the tip of the arrow on the arc center. This is extremely frustrating. So far I can only redo it by deleting the symbol or note and redo it. There must be a better way that is a hidden option in NX9. hope I explained it well enuff.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

When editing the ID symbol, before picking a new location, make sure that the "point on curve" snap is turned on (optional: turn off the "arc center" snap to avoid accidentally picking the center point).

Thanks for the tip. I have tried in the past and sometimes it didn't work. I also tried selecting terminating object and then hold down the alt key. That worked for me without the circle filter.
Thanks again. One less frustrating NX9 drafting issues to deal with.

When editing the termination point of the leader, make sure that the 'Arc Center' Snap Point is toggled OFF on the Selection Bar, and you'll probably want the 'Point on Curve' item toggle ON.
