Leader Note in 3D Scene

Creating 3D leader notes for the most part is the same as creating 2D leader notes. However, there are some specific requirement described below.

3D leader note can only have a single arrow. Adding additional arrows is not available.

A starting node of an arrow should be linked to some element of a model, so you have to select a node, face, edge or vertex in the 3D scene. Linking point on a face or edge is defined by a position of the cursor at the moment of selection.

An ending node of an arrow can not be linked to a particular element, but it is always placed on a plane, which passes through a linking point of a starting node and is parallel to one the model's planes (to Front plane by default). Thus, a text of a leader note lays in the same plane. You can select another plane using the following automenu option:

An angle between shoulder and arrow in the selected plane changes automatically depending on the camera position, ensuring the readability of a text.

Leader notes in 3D have same manipulators as in 2D.

By default, parts of leader notes as well as other 3D annotation elements hidden behind non-transparent elements of a 3D model are not displayed. If necessary, you can enable the Display annotations over 3D model option (Options > 3D > 3D).
