Creating Multiple Leaders from a SOLIDWORKS Annotation [VIDEO]

Sometimes you may need to assign multiple leaders from a single annotation.  There are several different ways of creating multiple leaders depending on what type of annotation you are using.

Creating Multiple Leaders from a SOLIDWORKS Annotation

1) Pre-select when adding note

• If you are adding Notes that need to point to multiple locations, pre-select the vertices, edges or faces and then use the Note tool

2) Ctrl-select before placing the annotation

• When using an annotation tool like Balloon, select the location for the first leader, then hold Ctrl and select as many additional leader locations
• Then click to place the annotation

3) Ctrl-drag existing leader attachment points to other locations

• If an annotation has already been placed on the drawing with a leader, Ctrl-drag the leader attachment point and drop it on another location
