How can you create a note that includes a leader?

To create a note that includes a leader in Siemens NX, the process involves positioning the note using a click-and-drag action. This method allows you to not only place the note at a specific location but also to define the direction in which the leader line will point. By clicking and dragging, you can visually control the leader's placement, ensuring it connects the note to the corresponding feature or part of the drawing accurately.

This approach is particularly useful for enhancing visual clarity in technical drawings, as it allows for precise alignment of the note with the desired object. The leader line acts as a connecting line between the note and the feature, helping users to easily associate the annotation with specific elements of the design.

Using only a single click to place the note would not provide the functionality to create a leader, as that method simply anchors the note in one spot without the option to connect to another point. Similarly, middle clicking or right-clicking while dragging does not correspond to the standard procedure for creating notes with leaders in most CAD software, including Siemens NX. Therefore, the click-and-drag method is essential for achieving the correct annotation format.
