How to change thinkness of leader lines of labels?
In catalog manager , all i see is Leader style but now sure how exactly to change it.

In " Leader Style" field you can mention the Linear Pattern style like Dash,Chain etc.( As per option manager symbology) to be appear for Leader line. But i don't think thickness can be changed for leader line.

Try creating filter for Label-Catalog Item.( e.g Property: Leader Style = Value: Chain or Dash) & call it in symbology filter in option manager....select pattern & change width as required.(say 0.7 mm or 1mm)

Just try ......it's only my idea ....don't know whether works or not....??

@mandy , Thanks for sugegstion but I tried this and doesnt work. I am struggling to understand how leader lines customization really works.
Really wonder if anyone has tried to customise line widths of leader lines.

In the Option Manager -> Symbology on the left side
I have a PlantItem Label that is Black, 0.13mm and continuous.

This is Defined in the Filter Manager -> Label Placement Filters
"Labeled Item Type" = PlantItem.

I did not test, but I assume that filter and Option is defining my leader line.

@Patrick , after going to INGR help manuals, I think there are 2 options and both i tried with out any luck.
1) As you have mentioned create entry in Options manager with filter for labels and set width there.
2) In Catalog Manager for any label, there is leaderstyle property which is supposed to be comign from linear styles. If I change this to some other lieaner style and save, open again, its not getting saved.
Also weird thing is that in Line style editor if I create new linear style, and save, that also isnt getting saved.

Will try few more things today and update here.

Its working but I need to specify leaderstyle for each label, also create filter with label:cataglog item, use this filter in option manager to specify symbology.
But this means I need to change each label and run update drawings command.

Is there is any easy way?

@ smartman

yes, in each label you need to mention "Leader Style" to get that linear pattern style & run update drawing command.

But did you get thickness of leader line as reqd? or it only changes leader line style ?

Nope, there is only a Smart Way

@mandy4u Yes , I could get thickness as per requirement after putting linestyle name in each label then doing drawing update. Global Symbol replace utility also does the job.
@Patrick Sometimes people(Those who dont know software) think smart way is not easy way out ! :)
