Question

As a drawing view may get larger, all annotations with leaders should not move

If you have ever increased a model/assy size and your drawing view gets larger, all your leader notes end up moving around.  The annotation should be placed relative to its "picked location" and stay with that location over time.  It should not move if your drawing view gets larger.  This needs to be fixed as it is more intuitive then stuff moving around just because your view extents got larger.

    We've been contemplating an alternative parameterization for detail item location for many years, but it's a serious bit of work to implement.  I imagine there is a Product Idea for it, you should get people to vote that up if you are interested in showing the level of customer interest in this.

    I couldn't find a product idea, nor could I figure out how to submit this as an idea.  New users can definitely see how this is frustrating.  I know after using the software since 1994, its very annoying!

      Add a way to prevent views from moving after changes

      Is somewhat similar to your request. It definitely details the problem even though the idea wasn't specifically about detail items moving.

      I definitely feel your pain. It can sometimes take hours, if not days, to fix a drawing that has view boundary changes.
