Leader group codes
Group codes Description

100

Subclass marker (AcDbLeader)

3

Dimension style name

71

Arrowhead flag: 0 = disabled; 1 = enabled

72

Leader path type: 0 = Straight line segments; 1 = Spline

73

Leader creation flag (default = 3):
0 = leader created with text annotation.
1 = created with tolerance annotation
2 = created with block reference annotation
3 = created without any annotation

74

Hookline direction flag:
0 = hookline (or end of tangent for a splined leader) is the opposite direction from the horizontal vector.
1 = hookline (or end of tangent for a splined leader) is the same direction as horizontal vector (see code 75).

75

Hookline flag: 0 = no hookline; 1 = has a hookline

40

Text annotation height

41

Text annotation width

76

Number of vertices in leader (ignored for DXFIN)

10

Vertex coordinates (one entry for each vertex)
DXF: X value; APP: 3D point

20, 30

DXF: Y and Z values of vertex coordinates

77

Color to use if leader's DIMCLRD=BYBLOCK

340

Hard reference to associated annotation (mtext, tolerance, or insert entity)

210

Normal vector. DXF: X value; APP: 3D vector

220, 230

DXF: Y and Z values of normal vector

211

"Horizontal" direction for leader.
DXF: X value; APP: 3D vector.

221,231

DXF: Y and Z values of "horizontal" direction for leader

212

Block reference insertion point offset from last leader vertex. DXF: X value; APP: 3D vector

222,232

DXF: Y and Z values of block reference insertion point offset from last leader vertex.

213

Annotation placement point offset from last leader vertex. DXF: X value; APP: 3D vector

223,233

DXF: Y and Z values of annotation placement point offset from last leader vertex.

Xdata belonging to the application ID "ACAD" may follow. This describes any dimension overrides that have been applied to this entity. See "Dimension Style Overrides."
