      Hi,

      I have a site plan that I need to label up with leaders and text etc, probably in white colour due to the nature of the background.

      This probably can't be done in SU I guess? So is it easier to do in LO? If so, how? 😳

      Sorry for stupid question(s).

      Much obliged.

        LO is probably the most flexible... but there's also my **2D Tools** 2D Text tool that makes a 'flat' bit of 3D-text which sticks to a surface [actually a tiny bit above to avoid z-fighting], and can be in 'text'*, in any installed font, any fixed height, any standard color, style[ B/I ] etc etc... see its guide for more details.
        There are no leaders and the text works best viewed 'flat' in plan or elevation - but it doesn't "float around" and potentially change size with view distance like normal SUp text !!!
        *Note - to make line-breaks you have to include \n in the text in the dialog [until it migrates to a webdialog].
        Later on you can edit any aspect of a piece of this text [componnet] my selecting it and right-click context-menu and Edit 2D Text - and entering new details in the dialog that opens...
        This 'text' is a component so copying it means that editing one instance changes all other copies - useful if you say the same text lots of times - confusing it you don't think it through [perhaps try make-unique if you mess up]...
