Assigning global width to a leader line

[Organic]

I have a leader that I want to make the line part of thicker (already made the leader arrow head bigger). I saw that it appeared to be based on dimension style, and I tried changing the lien thickness in there although as we use colour dependent plot files, not line weight dependent plot styles, this had no effect.

 

Any other tricks or ways to do it?

Have you tried the PLOT OBJECT LINEWEIGHTS option on your page setup manager?

Or setting on the PROPERTIES palette for the leader LINEWEIGHT by block?

 

I am guessing that your concern is not so much how it displays on your screen as how it prints. By choosing DISPLAY LINEWEIGHTS on your status bar menu, you can get it to display properly.

If you don't require the color of the dimension style to be ByLayer, you can set it per your color dependent plot style settings.

 

Or set the color in the dimstyle to be ByBlock, so it is ByLayer unless you manually change the color property after placement. You can still have the text ByLayer or whatever you want.

Yeah, that was the first thing I checked.

Yes, display is not important, only how it prints.

I could. Although the largest defined plot colour width we have is still smaller than the width I wanted the leader arrow to have. There's obviously lots of work arounds to achieve this (a block is just one) although I just wondered if there was a simple way I was overlooking.
