SOLIDWORKS Electrical 2020 Text Leader and Block Leader

Now when using SOLIDWORKS Electrical 2020 we can create text leader lines with blocks and notes in 2D panel layouts and harness drawings.

Text and balloons with leader lines are a common method to convey design notes. Adding these annotations with dedicated commands and a leader style manager it’s easy to finish design work more efficiently and present the design clearly.

How to access text leader/block leader tools?

Text leader and Block leader tools can be access on two separate tabs:

• Draw Tab > Annotation > Text Leader/Block leader
  

  Draw Tab – Leader lines

• Cabinet layout Tab > Annotation > Text Leader/Block leader

Once the leaders are used in the electrical drawing, by selecting the leader it shows all the graphical properties in the properties pane on the right.

Using properties pane we can control justification of text, attachment type,arrowhead and specifically for block leader we can select block source as circle, triangle etc.
