To Create Leaders Without Elbows
For dimensions that require one leader, you can set an option to eliminate the elbow in the leader.
1. Set the Detail option default_dim_elbows to no.
2. Create the dimension in the drawing. The system assigns the dimension an elbow with a default value of zero and does the following:
◦ Centers the line of text containing the dimension value on the end of the straight leader line.
◦ Trims back the leader line to the box surrounding all of the lines of dimension text.
◦ Pads the character height by half.
◦ Displays the text center-justified about the endpoint of the dimension line.
