In the Revit.ini file, settings in the [AnnotationLeaderOptions] section control options available for tag leaders.

Example

[AnnotationLeaderOptions]
HideInCanvasLeaderClipIcons=1
DisableInCanvasTagDragIconOffset=1
InCanvasTagDragIconOffset=0.025
InCanvasLeaderClipIconOffset=0.050
DisableLeaderStartElbowEndControlColors=1
DisableLeaderEnhancedSnapping=1
DisableLeaderEndPointSnappingToHostReferences=1

HideInCanvasLeaderClipIcons

Disables in-canvas leader clip icons.

Type = integer

Valid values: 0 = disable (default), 1 = enable

DisableInCanvasTagDragIconOffset

Disables the offset applied to the drag arrow control.

Type = integer

Valid values: 0 = disable (default), 1 = enable

InCanvasTagDragIconOffset

Customizes the offset distance factor (in inches) for the drag arrow control for tags. Revit uses the specified value to calculate the offset in view coordinates, then applies the view scale to generate a model coordinate where the icon will be displayed.

Type = integer

Valid values: 0 and up

Note: If no value is applied the default factor is 0.025.

Note: Does not apply if DisableInCanvasTagDragIconOffset=1.

InCanvasLeaderClipIconOffset

Note: If no value is applied the default factor is 0.050.

Note: Does not apply if HideInCanvasLeaderClipIcons=1.

DisableLeaderStartElbowEndControlColors

Type = integer

Valid values: 0 = disable (default), 1 = enable

DisableLeaderEnhancedSnapping

Disables enhanced leader snapping.

Type = integer
