Places a leader with 3 segments used with grid lines and other linear objects. The style tag determines which dimension style to use from styles.sha, while the breakline tag determines whether or not to place a jog in the leader. A value of -1 is true and places a jog in the leader, while a value of 0 does not place a jog. The jogSegmentOffset value is the linear offset of the middle of the leader. The jogLength value is the length of the leader segment connected to the label.

Customization
style
Defines the appearance of a leader line.
-
ANSI: Applies a thin, solid, dark cyan line style with a filled arrow terminator to the leader line.
-
ANSI_FRACTIONAL: Applies a thick, solid, dark cyan line style with a filled arrow terminator to the leader line.
-
ANSI_NOARROW: Applies a thick, solid, dark cyan line style with no terminator to the leader line.
-
JIS: Applies a thick, solid, dark cyan line style with a large, open arrow terminator to the leader line.
-
ISO: Applies a thick, solid, dark cyan line style with a large, filled arrow terminator to the leader line.
-
DIN: Applies a thick, solid, dark cyan line style with a large, filled arrow terminator to the leader line.
-
ASA: Applies a thick, solid, dark cyan line style with a filled arrow terminator to the leader line.
-
BSI: Applies a thick, solid, dark cyan line style with a large, filled arrow terminator to the leader line.
breakline
Controls whether or not a breakline appears for the label. The breakline normally connects the leader line to the label.
Type -1 to place a leader jog.
Type 0 to omit the jog.
You cannot place breaklines with acute leader jog angles when automatically generating labels. However, you can manually place breaklines with acute leader jog angles within SmartSketch by updating the view, then selecting a leader and clicking BreakLine .
jogSegmentOffset
Allows you to specify the offset from the first leader segment connected to the object to the next jog segment in the leader line.
1 - Leader offset |
jogLength
Type -1 to place a jog. Type 0 to suppress the jog.
