making a leader w/ an ellipse

I am trying to define a leader using an ellipse (user defined block) to use
on electrical dwgs for identifying wiring. I have drawn my ellipse 1 unit
long, defined the center of the ellipse as the insert point and set my
dimstyle to use that as my leader arrowhead. My problem is that I am getting
a gap between my ellipse and my leader line. It looks like ------- 0
instead of ------0 (notice the gap). Does anyone have any good words of
wisdom on how I can get this to work?

Thanks for any info.

You need the ellipse to be *2* units long, 0,0 being the center, and one end
at -1,0.

If you want the long axis of the ellipse arrow head to be 0.125" when you
dimstyle has an arrow head size of 0.125, assuming the ellipse block is
drawn with the long axis horizontal (1 unit),
make the insertion point of the ellipse block be the right side quadrant of
the ellipse.
