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.
