To Change the Position of Objects Anchored to Layout Nodes with Leader Anchors

You can change the coordinate system, orientation, and rotation of an object anchored to a layout node. You can also define offsets from the node.

1. Double-click the object anchored to a layout node.
2. On the Properties palette, expand Basic Location from Node.
   Tip: You can also access commands to change the position of the anchored object from the context menu. Select the anchored object, right-click, and click Leader Anchor. From the submenu, choose the desired command to manipulate the anchored object in relation to its anchoring node and leader.
3. Click Anchor.
4. Specify changes in the position or orientation of anchored objects:

   If you want to…	Then…
   specify an offset from the object to the node	specify insertion offset values for the X, Y, or Z position.
   anchor the object to the center of the node	select Center on Node.
   have the anchored object use the coordinate system of the node	select Use Node Coordinate System.
   not have the anchored object use the coordinate system of the node	specify X, Y, or Z normals for the anchored object.
   change the rotation angle of the anchored object	specify values for the X, Y, or Z rotation angles.
   flip the object along the X, Y, or Z axes	select Flip X, Flip Y, or Flip Z.
   change the angle of the leader to the node	specify a value for Angle to Node.
   change the offset of the leader start grip from the center of the base curve of the layout node	enter an offset value for First Extension.
   change the offset of the leader end grip from the center of the base curve of the anchored object	enter an offset value for Second Extension. Note: By default the leader extensions are slightly offset so as not to overlap the leader grip with the object location grip.

5. Click OK.
