Single Segment Leader Option
Select the Single Segment Leader option to change the default procedure and create drawing annotations with a single leader segment. The Single-Segment Leader option is available for balloons, leader text, surface texture symbols, welding symbols, feature control frames, datum targets, and sketch symbols. You set the option separately for each type of drawing annotations.
Aligned Leader Annotations
Drawing annotations with leaders can now be aligned in one step. In the drawing, select the annotations to align. Right-click, and on the menu, click Align Vertical, Horizontal, or To Edge.
