    Default How to change Leader line pattern (spot elevation)

    How can I change leader line pattern (e.g. form solid to dash dot) for spot elevation.
    I want to change (modify) only leader line pattern
    I have tried to use override but all of them (leader + spot elevation) are changed and
    I have tried Object Styles (Annotation Objects) but I can't find which of them is for leader line pattern

    Please help me..!

    Not possible as far as I know. Maybe someone else knows of a way.

    We just use them with the solid line. The building still gets built just the same.

    It appears that you cannot change the leader line style, either in the Type Properties or under Object Styles.

    I tried adding a new subcategory in Object Styles for the Spot Annotation Line Style, --no luck.

    Sounds like a Wishlist request, if it's not already there.

    see attached

    cheers

    Guys I actually found a work around for this linetype problem!!!!

    You have to do do it everytime you place a spot elevation but it's better than nothing..
    Place the Spot Elevation... Right Click... Override Graphics in View.... Elements... Click on the Pattern at the very bottom and select. VOILA!!!! I have 5/8" Centerline leaders to my spot elevations !!! YIPEEE!!!!

    I know this is a semi-ancient thread, but I have some more information to add to JFKDMRs work around.
    It turns out that you do not have to do it everytime you place a spot elevation, you just have to do it once before printing / creating PDFs.

    You select your spot elevation, right click, select all in project, graphic override to your hearts desire. bam, you're done.

    Don't forget to add them to a Selection Filter in case someone destroys your overrides.
