Multi-Jog Leaders - Won't break around quantity...

Can anyone else get a multi-jog leader to properly break around quantity on a balloon?

Screenshot below is a balloon with the "Quantity" checkbox checked. With leader settings as shown, the highlighted setting causes the leader to break around the quantity:

However, if I make the leader a multi-jog (RMB on the leader line and choose either "Insert new branch" or "Add jog point"), nothing I can do will get it to break.

Of course, if I click the "plain leader" button it will switch it back, but I can't make a multi-jog break.

I'll be turning this in as a bug as long as nobody here tells me how I'm doing it wrong... Or that it's fixed in something later than 2018sp4.0...

(Bonus question... Anyone know how to switch a balloon back from Multi-jog to plain via API?...)

Thanks errbody!

You can change the quantity placement to the other side of the balloon, or to the top or bottom.

That doesn't seem to affect the leader line.

You won't need to break it...I would look like this:

Thanks.... I'm aware that you can move the quantity. However, that was not my question. My question was, "Is this broken for you too. If so, I will tell SW they need to fix it."

I found the same thing, using 2016, when using a gt&t frame with proceeding text and a jog in the leader. I don't have SolidWorks in front of me now, to show an example.

Here's an example:

edit: you don't even have to add a multi-arrow or jog. You just have to set the leader to multijog:

What version are you on? I'm on SW2017 SP5 and I can't even get it breaking without multi-jog!!!

2018sp4.

You don't even have the button to do it.... Looks like it wasn't implemented yet in '16...

In the 'Balloon' property manager I have the 'Quantity' command menu but not the leader menu.

I could do it by RMB on the balloon --> Properties. In that case the property manager header was 'Note' and I could choose the leader type.

here is similar dilemma I have with multiple radii's/branch dimension. arrow heads can not be changed.

arrow heads will dethatch from radii and can not be placed back.
