Text editing

Greeting all
I wish to add leader text to a model and thats no problem.
I'm writing for a woodworking magazine and I'm providing the editor with jpg images of my models.

What he is requesting when it comes to text is for me to provide a model with the arrow pointing to the part of the image i am refering to, BUT WITHOUT THE TEXT.

I've searched the forum for a solution with no luck.

thanks in anticipation.
Alan.

Thank you very much indeed for that.

Hi folks.

I also use this trick with dimensions to get an line with an arrow at each end to illustrate aligments for example. I edit the dimension text and use a simple space for it.

To avoid a break in the dimension line, I use an "outside" or "above" alignment instead of the "centered" alignment. Use Menu Window --> Model Info --> Dimensions.

Just ideas.

Jean
thanks for that. In fact that was also a request from the editor.
cheers
