Fairly new to Revit. When I place text, and add leaders, the leader always comes off the 1st line of text, even when on the right side and w/ multiline text. Is there a way to get the leader to start at the end of the bottom line when coming off on the right side of the text?

Still not possible.

Surprised I didn't see this in the Revit Wish list poll....Hmmm.

Shocked that this isn't available yet....I'm off to find the wish list and add it.

I've been doing this for 12 years now and every company I've worked for has the leader from the top line on either side of the text. I personally think it's better that way but Revit should give you an option.

Guess I work in a place that is different...we like the right side to come from the end of the text. Different strokes...

What does it matter were you have the leader come from - definately "father does not know best" - should be users choice - I prefer center.

Revit's text capablity is comparable to writing with a stick in the sand. I think I might even prefer the stick. Wishlist - my ... *** ... tired of asking for it release after release - I asked for it in Release 3 (yes much prior to Autodesk). If they feel magnamous they may grant it or perhaps not - wonderfull.
