### Leader Line Object

The leader line object lets you draw a connecting line between a Label object and a CADReportObject. To do this, simply select the object, then click and drag it from one object to the other.

If done properly, the leader line will automatically snap between the two objects so that if you later change their locations, the leader line changes size and moves accordingly. For example this figure shows a CADReportObject object with three Label objects around it all with connecting Leader Line objects.

If it can't detect the two objects, a Leader Line Construction dialog box will appear allowing you to select the two objects between which PC-DMIS should draw the leader line.

If you delete the Label or a CADReportObject object, PC-DMIS also deletes the leader line object automatically.

In the actual Report window, depending on the location of the label to the feature, the leader line will attach to either one of the edges or corners of the label. Consider this graphical example. It illustrates that where you position the labels (rectangles) in relationship to the feature (red circle) changes where the leader line connects (green dot) on the label.
