Re: double dimension leader
Click on the dimension to highlight it, then click on the small blue box at the end of the leader. Hold down Ctrl and drag to the second location to create a second leader. Of course if the new radius, circle, etc. isn't the same size then the leader won't stick.

Re: double dimension leader
Thanks Glenn!!
I didn't even think of using the grip box on the end of the leader. Thanks so much!

Re: double dimension leader
One thing I find curious is that breaking the leader around the linear dimension only breaks the initial R.06 leader, not both.
Not a big deal - unless you know how to accomplish this also.

Re: double dimension leader
No, I think that's probably a glitch. Have you tried breaking the leader on the 5.25 dimension instead?

Re: double dimension leader
Do you have to do that after the dimension is placed, or can you add the second leader when you are creating the dimension?

Re: double dimension leader
Okay, no problem. Thanks for the tip!! I was getting tired of adding a second dimension!! You can have more than two leaders on the same dim as well. I generally try not to do that, but it's nice to know you can do it if you have to.

Re: double dimension leader
It depends sometimes. So in general if there are multiple places where the radius is same I would put TYP.

Re: double dimension leader
Agreed, but on a cylindrical part with different radii, like on o-ring grooves, you need to use multiple leaders to keep things straight.

Re: double dimension leader
Also, just a note - if you are in the habit of breaking dimension extension lines, I have not found a way for the 2nd dimension leader to break.

Re: double dimension leader
Yeah, that's kind of goofy. Fortunately, I don't do that very often, so it shouldn't be a major problem. I wonder if they fixed it in SW2016.
