Leader detached from the tag has been a long term issue for me. You just help me sloved this problem!

[@TheeMajesticDee]

Thank you for this tutorial. I was struggling with aligning my tag with its leader, now it's all sorted. Much appreciated!

[@brgesner]

To summarize for those who don't want to watch the 7+min video: Leaders attach to the midpoint of the nearest orthogonal edge of the extents of the tag family. You can use invisible lines to alter the extents in the family editor. Make sure the tag is centered on the center reference lines in the family.

Hi , I have a small question. If i need leader on in the middle of upper label of the tag. Is it possible ?

[@kdpmac2207]

Also looking for this option. I have a Keynote Tag with the Keynote Number boxed above, and the Keynote Text Below. I want the leader to come out of the Boxed Number but instead it always goes to the middle of all of the geometry

What is the benefit of adding the invisible lines to the triangular tag?

[@SynergisCAD]

Hi Tom, thanks for your question. To force the leader's shoulder to connect to the lower-left and lower-right corners of the visible triangular symbol.

[@ianwulfson6943]

Thank you! Helps a lot.

Good tip, but fuzzy videos (or even all videos) ought to be accompanied by step-by-step text
