Is there a way to use custom arrows for leaders? In some software this is possible.
Just wondering.

No, not really. The only thing what you can do is manipulate the Arrow size within the Property Editor

Re: [solved] Custom Arrows For Leaders
Thanks CVH. I suppose that I could apply the leader without an arrow & then apply a block with the required theme (arrow).
Other CAD packages give me an option to apply my own arrows (blocks) as leader arrows. See attached. Anyway, this is not a deal breaker - but a nice to have.

Re: [solved] Custom Arrows For Leaders
In essence that is a Polyline with a Block Reference at the end.
Without an arrow the Style Properties have no further influence.
The difference would be that the Polyline is called a 'Leader' when created as a dimension.
And filtered as 'Leader' or as 'Dimension'.
I both cases you end up with 2 entities.
Another trick ... Sometimes I explode a Leader to re-use the 3-point Solid entity resulting from this.
