I'm trying to add a single leader line to a drawing wihtout any text attached, the only way I can see is it use the 'leader text' command but now I can't detatch the text, is there any way to simply add leader only ?

Is there a way to remove the extension line from a leader (when using the Leader Text command)? I'm trying to end up with just text, an arrowhead, & a straight line. It would look like this:
<---------- TEXT
as opposed to:
TEXT
/
<----------/
(Is that the best diagram ever, or what?)
I would like to add a Leader Text to lable a part- referencing the Part Number or whatever, move the text close to the edge of the part, to remove the leader/arrow and make the txt rotate 90deg to be vertical. I have messed with style settings for a new Vertical Txt style, and Vert Dim style -(pointed to the Vert Txt style and adjusted Notes and Leaders tab)
i don't understand why in the Format Text window the "rotation" box is always grayed out. can you unlock it?
1.) How to paste (leader or line or text) objects to many layouts at once (same time) without opening all the layouts. (I am having 5 CAD files, each file has 25 layouts).
2.) How to delete objects (leader or line or text) from many layouts. I can select by filter command from all the layouts but, when you delete it deletes only from the current layout.
What the setting is to create a space between the leader line and the text.

When I insert a stacked dimension in the top line of my leader text, the spacing gets automatically adjusted for the hight of the stacked dimension and it adjusts the leader line up so that it actually passes through my top line. Can this be avoided? I have attached a picture for reference.

<COMPANY>, <DESCRIPTION>
<PART NUMBER>
I would like to just copy the fields from the first "Attach to Leader Text" and paste them in the subsequent "Attach to Leader Text" instances, instead of picking the "Type" and "Property" from the pull down lists for each of the three property I want to access, each time I place a "Attach to Leader Text" .
The problem is the fields in the subsequent Attach to Leader Text pasted instances do not automatically link to iProperties on the ballooned item? how to automate this procedure/
I have a question on Leader Text. Lets say I have a multiple sub-assys in a main assy. When I do the leader text on one of the sub-assys it will take the description from the individual part in the sub-assy. Is there a way I can make it put the assembly description rather than the part description?

Is it possible to associate leader text with a particular page number.

I am trying to link component parameters to the assembly and leader text always picks up the particular part in the assembly rather that the assembly as a whole. I want to point to a door assy with leader text and say it is "DOOR A" using model parameters but leader text picks up the particular part I am pointing to with my leader text rather then the assembly.

Now in Inventor 2013 you have to right-click and choose Continue. The same applies, when you want to place a Leader Text (and maybe elsewhere as well).
Why do we suddenly have to make two additional clicks compared to Inventor 2012. It doesn't work, that you can press Enter instead of the additional mouse clicks.
And why is the Open Drawing moved to second level. The Marking Menu is of no use, especially not in the tree browser.
Why do you Inventor designers make such changes that make Inventor more annoying to operate compared to the previous version. It should be the other way around....like the brilliant inclusion of Open Drawing.

I tried changing the layer thickness and making sure the settings were such that the leader line thickness would be determined by the layer. I also tried channging the leader line thickness in properties and/or leader styles, but no luck there either.

Some of the leaders on my drawing somehow changed so that the arrowheads do not show. When I began working on the drawing, the arrowheads were fine, but while I have been working on the drawing, all of a sudden these leaders changed this property.
The properties manager lists these problem leaders as "line with no arrow." Although there is a drop-down menu to choose things like "line with arrow," the "no arrow" option does not change when I pick anything else.

I have a leader that I want to make the line part of thicker (already made the leader arrow head bigger). I saw that it appeared to be based on dimension style, and I tried changing the lien thickness in there although as we use color dependent plot files, not line weight dependent plot styles, this had no effect.

I’m wondering why the “leader” of the “dimension text” disappears when the text is moved.
How can I control this setting?
I need to show this “leader” all the time. Is that possible?
Please, have a look on the screenshots below (the file is attached).
For my dimension style, I have my text placement set to over dimension line, with leader, so I can drag the actual text outside the dimension line with a leader attached when necessary, but when I try to move the text outside of the dimension line it always draws the leader underlining the entire piece of text that I have moved. Is there a way to control the leader to attach to the middle of the line and not underline the entire piece of text when doing this operation?
