Good morning,

I cannot figure out how to make an ordinate dimension leader straight off the entity if it was bent originally.  I've attached two windows snips, the first being the default way that SW shows them on the drawing when I pick the entities.  The second shows the way I prefer to have them showing on the drawing for clarity, but I don't like the leaders being bent.  I prefer them to show horizontally or vertically off the entity.  Hopefully my pics will clarify what I'm hoping to accomplish.  Not sure if there is an option to make them straight instead of bent.  Seems though that there is always an option in SW to get something done.  Thanks in advance
