    What changed?
    Did the entities in the drawing get moved?
    If you open the drawing, then UNDO until you can't undo anymore, do they
    restore?

    Thank you for responding....here are the nuts and bolts.

    I xref'ed the PARENT drawing into the CHILD drawing. I was working on an
    overlay
    in child, when I realize a line was on the wrong layer in PARENT. I
    refedited PARENT, putting the line in question on the right layer, saved the
    refedit, and continues working on CHILD.
    Finished, saved everything and closed.
    Half hour later, I opened PARENT for more work and lots (NOT ALL) of the
    leaders were extended off into infinity (well, way the hell out there). The
    arrows at the ends of the leaders stayed put. The drawing had to be printed
    yesterday, so I went in and replaced all the leaders with new ones, but
    never identified the cause.

    Thanks RK,
