Arrow designs in Leaders
I use a custom arrow head for all my leaders.
I find the ratio of arrow length to length of leader before the arrow appears is about 2:5.
IE the arrowhead measures 2 units and the end of line is 5 units from the start of arrow.
This is too great as it doesn't make for neatness in plans.
Changing the Arrow Size works but the arrow is too small.
A work around sometimes is to just place an arrow (block) and join a spline/ arc etc off end.
The attached image shows splined leader that I'd prefer a much shorter distance before I start curving the leader. Any shorter in this instance and it doesn't show.
I don't use dimension arrows/ leaders, they are merely to annotate my plans.
For scale, the text height is 3.125 mm.
Comments on making this work much appreciated.

Hello Richard,
I think the only problem is the way you defined your custom arrow block. Look at this example, I think it is self-explanatory:

Ahh! Bliss at last.
Many thanks Knut.
I modified my arrow and it works just as you show.
Brilliant.
