it's nice that 2012 now has a way to turn off dimension leaders but is there a way to have off be the default and not have to change each and every dimension to Always Off instead of By Element?

Damn...:banghead: thought that new selection box was a default, but no!!
Why is off by default so hard to impliment.
I think we need a poll.
Dimension Leaders
Preference Off by Default or On By Default.
I am willing to put money on the OFF's
Surely this is just a ini. tweak to turn it off.Last edited by mark b; May 7, 2011, 02:09 AM.Mark Balsom

It is very annoying.
We simply "select all" and then toggle the leader button.
Not ideal, but does do all the dims at once, so not too painful.Andrew Harp

Do you mind explaining why off by default would be preferred?Jeff Hanson

Jeff I am sure if you took a poll you would find "off by default" would be prefered option.
Personally the distance I move 95% of my dimension do not warrant a leader and tend to make dimension strings untidy.
My opinion, anybody else....?Mark Balsom

I agree. There are virtually no situations in my work that dimensions would require a leader. Never used them in that other program and don't need them in RevitOriginally posted by mark b View PostI'm retired, if you don't like it, go around!Comment

That's strange. Since you deal with details and very small dimensions. Don't you ever need to take the text string out of the dimension when it doesn't fit in the available space? , not even in "that other program"?Freelance BIM Provider at Autodesk Services Marketplace | LinkedinComment

I use the leaders occasionally, but mostly for dimensioning the width of walls, where I dont want the string to be placed on top of the wall... Dont really care if it´s default or not - Probably 50/50 turning them off for me...Klaus Munkholm

all of the time, but when I do, as Mark b has noted, the dimension is so close to it's actual home that no leader is required to indicate where it belongsOriginally posted by Alfredo Medina View PostI'm retired, if you don't like it, go around!Comment
