Part V: Creating Drawings

Once you activate the jogged leader option, you can add a jog from the leader right mouse button

(RMB) menu. Notice in Figure 22.6 that two options give you control over the jogged leader —

Insert New Branch and Add Jog Point.

FIGURE 22.6

Jogging a leader

Add Jog Point

Selecting the Add Jog Point command adds a new handle to the leader that you can move around.

You can add multiple jog points to the leader.

Insert New Branch

The Insert New Branch command enables you to create a new jogged leader that ends in another

arrow from the selected point. This arrangement with multiple branches in a jogged leader is

shown in Figure 22.7.

Adding styles

For notes, a style can apply a font, an underline, bold formatting, or any other setting from the

Formatting (Fonts) toolbar to a note.

To create a note that uses the style setting from another existing note, pre-select the existing note

with the style to be copied before starting the Note command; SolidWorks applies the style to the

new note.
