How can I add Leader Line dimensions?

To add dimensions such as Leader, Text and Lines, please perform the following:

Using LEADER Dimensions

1. Select a Layer to add dimensions (or create a new layer).
   • Note:  FAB3000 will automatically create a Layer for dimensions - if there is no available Layer for dimensions.
2. Add Dimension Leader (menu: Add > Dimensions > Leader)
3. Select a reference object (Leader requires an element to be selected)
4. Draw Leader Lines, and then Rt. Click (for Leader Text options)
5. Enter the Text for the Leader, and press OK.

The Leader dimension will now be created (see below - no sound):
