To create an arbitrary leader, use the Leader 
command.
Step-by-step instructions
1.In the graphic area, specify the object to which the first branch of the leader line is pointing. As the object being designated, you can use any object of the model – a face, a plane, a vertex, an axis, an edge, a dimension, a designation, etc. The name of the selected object will appear in the Objects field on the Parameters Panel.
In the graphic area, a designation phantom is displayed. The final point of the first branch coincides with the point at which the object was specified.
2.Specify the starting point for the landing.
3.After indication of the point of origin for the landing, the Add text subprocess will start. Enter the text of label and configure its parameters. That is done the same way as on creation of a leader in the graphic document. Details...
At the end of the Add text subprocess, the system will return to creation of the leader. The generated label is displayed on the designation phantom and in the Text field on the Parameter Panel. To edit the label, click the name of the Text field or the text box on the phantom.

If the object being drawn as a leader line is a symbolic representation of a thread (conical or cylindrical), the label on the leader line's shelf is automatically generated. It contains the designation text for the specified thread. If necessary, you can edit the label using the Text Input subprocess.If the object being drawn as a leader line is a symbolic representation of a thread (conical or cylindrical), the label on the leader line's shelf is automatically generated.
