callout bubble leader location

[emodderman]

I am updating the company revit blocks to match our autocad blocks and I had to increase the size of the callout bubble by 1/8". I loaded it into the project and now the leader doesn't line up with the left/right quadrant of the circle - on one side it is crossing into the bubble and on the other it is detached from the bubble.
I have tried moving the bubble in the family drawing 1/16" left or right, half of how much I enlarged it by, but that just pushes it farther away or towards the leader. The centre of my bubble is at the centre of the template reference planes, but yet the leader is still offset.

Where can I define where the leader attaches to the bubble?!

this is the bubble in the family file

this is the way the bubble looks when loaded into the project

Just throwing it out there. but did you stretch the label's Grips to the extent of the circle? At home so I can't check this myself right now.

I'm not sure what you mean by this... Which label? Why would the label grips dictate the starting location of my leaders?

I have Revit in front of me now, so I can tell you that you need to edit the properties of your label type. Under the Type Properties of the label, in the Graphics section, there is a parameter for Leader/Border Offset. My default is 5/64" for our standard call-out head. Change that dimension to match up with your new Radius, and hopefully it will work for you.

In your family, turn on the ref plane and you will understand. The line goes automtically to the right sport so your circle needs to gros from there.
