Provide more flexibility with Callout Leaders by adding Polyline features

Current leader lines on callouts have 2 control points which provide limited options for adjustment:

My suggestion is to provide "Polyline Functionality to the leader lines. This way you could add control points and convert segments to arcs to provide more flexibility in how your leaders are displayed:

The above example is created with a text box and a separate polyline formatted to provide an arrow on the end.

oh, I love this! Never thought of it myself, but would love to have the ability to adjust the leader as if it were a polyline! Thank you @David Cutler for bringing this up.

When you do this, BB, please also make the leader attachment to the text box "sticky". Now, the leader automatically shifts from L or R attachments to T or B attachment at the slightest adjustment or manipulation of the text box OR leaders, requiring the user to always go move the attachment back to the sides, which is industry standards for annotation in the AEC world I am used to.

Jes took the words right out of my keyboard!

Also - maybe the ability to have multiple leaders?

David Cutler

That's a great idea @Geom. So great that it is already a feature! Simply select your callout, right click and select "add a leader".

Glad to share @Geom - I'm still learning too! There is sooo much to Revu no user can know it all. That's one of the things I appreciate about the various on-line discussions about Revu everyone is sharing and we are all learning together. 😎
