How do I shorten extension line on annotation? Whats the option called in drawing options?

 

Best answer by StephenW

If you want the leader line on an annotation to be shorter for all your leaders, use the drawing option:

 

leader_elbow_length 

 

That will change it for the drawing open currently. If you want to change it for all your future drawings, you will need to modify your drawing templates or your drawing setup file (or both if you use both)

You can shift+click drag and you can also change the default as mentioned in this thread here https://community.ptc.com/t5/3D-Part-Assembly-Design/How-to-increase-Gap-between-elbow-end-and-the-text-in-Annotation/m-p/886024#M129939
