Text Leaders and Arrows

[bebrett]

Is is possible to have a leader and arrow w/o having text ?

[Elmo]

To my knowledge no. I would usually draw in lines to do this, although I'm not a hundred percent sure if it isn't possible.

That's what my thoughts were as well. Thanks for the feedback

You can do a leader arrow and simply type a fullstop/dot in for the text. Depending on the drawing scale it could be an irritating dot though!

Use this family, its a generic annotation family, just place it and when your placing it select the number of leaders you want. Note you can edit the type(create multiple types) with whatever arrowhead you want on it.

In line with the above subject can we customize the leader head to something else not an arrow and also the leader tail to have vertical line and the text will be centered to it...

see attached image for clarity..

Sure, just create a generic annotation family with the symbols you want and align them with ref planes, with instance parameters so you can stretch it as necessary, you will probably need a left hand and right hand version. Or if you can live with a single arrow head type, then just take the family I posted and add the verticle line to it.

Is it possible to do this with a curved leader? I am not sure where to change this.

Try this. Make a text style with the leader you want and with text that is 1/256" in size and transparent. Then, as suggested above, nail the text/leader with the obligatory "dot". Your result is the leader your want and an "invisible" dot.
