These three commands draw a pair of leaders (crow's feet) at the
ends of
the line or polyline segment. The segment can be selected from a line,
polyline or pair of points.
The leaders are drawn above
or below the line or polyline, or you can pick a side, depending on
which Endpoint Leader command is run.
The Pick Side command gives you the ability to place the crow’s feet on
a selected side of the line or polyline. Controls to customize
the look of the endpoint leaders are accessed through the
Annotate Defaults command in the Annotate menu. The Leader Size
Scaler determines the maximum length of the leader. If the line
segment is too short, the leader is shortened to fit. The actual length
of the leader in drawing units
is calculated by multiplying the leader scaler by the drawing
horizontal scale (i.e.. 0.5*40=20).
The Offset Scaler sets the distance that the leader head is off the
line endpoint. There are four
leader styles to choose from: Arc with Arrow, Arc Only, Dash-Dot-Dash
and Dashed. Endpoint
leaders can be drawn together with bearing/distance annotation by
having the Draw Leaders to
Endpoints option on under Annotate Defaults. This Draw End
Point Leaders command allows you
to add the leaders as another step.
Define line by [Points/<select line or polyline>]: Select
a line or polyline.
If you wish
to define by points, enter "P" at this prompt and pick points on the
screen, or type in point numbers.
If a coordinate (.CRD) file has not been previously loaded, a dialog
will open to allow you to
select a coordinate (.CRD) file to process. While using the Point
selection method, the last point
picked in the selection is stored in default brackets. So if you are
working around a boundary,
simply press enter to accept the defaults for the first point and move
ahead to the next point.
