    Default no leader in dimensions

    My drop down dimension menu no longer shows a leader. How can I add this to the menu?.

    What version of Autocad are you using and is the dimension tool located on a toolbar or on a tool palette?

    CUI, Menu, Dimensions. Go to the list of commands in the lower left, drag and drop qleader up above in the dimensions menu.

    If you haven't, consider using mleaders instead or at least check them out.

    Thanks, that worked perfectly.
    For some things the old way is still the quickest.
    (I've noticed that some commands in 2010 now require an extra click to complete!!)

    I understand. I didn't look hard at mleader for a release or two but then I realized what I had been missing. I added a button to a palette and I am good to go. I don't use the Ribbon, that is where you definitely end up with multiple picks where one was needed before. I have tried using the Ribbon but I find it a negative as far as productivity goes.
