Rules for Leader Lines (Leaders)

Normally leader lines terminate with an arrowhead. Leaders can refer to a surface when the leader terminates within the outline of the object. In this case, the leader should terminate with a dot.

Leaders must extend at an angle, and they must include a short elbow.

The number of leaders can be minimized by using letters to indicated duplicate feature dimensions.

When leaders point to a circle or an arc, they should extend radially.
