Setting Perpendicular a Leader

This task shows you how to set the annotation leader perpendicular to its associated geometrical element.
You can set the leader perpendicularity during the creation using the Leader associativity to the geometry option.
Open the Annotations_Part_04.CATPart document:

  1. Click the annotation text.

  2. Right-click the end manipulator and select Switch to perpendicular leader from the contextual menu.

    You obtain this result.

  3. Drag the annotation.

    The annotation leader still perpendicular to any associated geometrical element with the annotation.

     
     

     

  4. To cancel this behavior, right-click the end manipulator and select Switch to orientation free leader from the contextual menu.

    The annotation leader orientation is free again.
