    Can the dimension leaders be scaled? I need to make them bigger.

    Stew,

    If I understand you correctly, you wish to change the size of your
    arrows on the drawing default. The location for doing this is Tools
    pulldown>Options>Document Properties> and select Arrows in the Detail
    section. This will bring up a screen that will allow you to change
    your arrow sizes. This is a global function, however. If you need
    need to only enlarge certain arrows but not others, I'm not sure this
    can be done automatically.

    Stew,

    Ok, there is a way. It's a bit convoluted, but it is possible. Open
    up any drawing with dimensions. Edit the global values for Arrows as
    I noted above. Click on any dimension. In the Dimension Properties
    window, select the Add or Update Favorite button in the Favorites
    section. Type in a new name for your favorite and then OK. Now click
    on the Save a Favorite button and save your settings to a file. Exit
    your drawing without saving.

    You will now be able to recall that particular arrow dim size in any
    drawing by selecting the dim and clicking on Load Favorites button in
    the Favorites area.
