Leaders lines - best left for SU or LO?
-
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 andEdit 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]...
