I can change where it points with ease, but I can't find a way to modify where the width of it hits the label.</P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="rburkebsrc_0-1640800867689.png" style="width: 400px;"><img src="https://community.esri.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/30488i30E083C6CA40503A/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="rburkebsrc_0-1640800867689.png" alt="rburkebsrc_0-1640800867689.png" /></span></P><P>&nbsp;</P> Wed, 29 Dec 2021 18:03:37 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/adjusting-balloon-dart-leader/m-p/1129493#M49424 wayfaringrob 2021-12-29T18:03:37Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/adjusting-balloon-dart-leader/m-p/1129500#M49428 <P>If this is just a graphic in a layout, you should be able to move the callout around to make the leader adjust.&nbsp; You may also need to change up some of the margins left , right, top, bottom, to make it look appropriate.</P> Wed, 29 Dec 2021 18:21:32 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/adjusting-balloon-dart-leader/m-p/1129500#M49428 ABishop 2021-12-29T18:21:32Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/adjusting-balloon-dart-leader/m-p/1129508#M49430 <P>The problem is the callout is where I want it and the margins are where I want them; I only need to change the stem.</P> Wed, 29 Dec 2021 18:43:00 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/adjusting-balloon-dart-leader/m-p/1129508#M49430 wayfaringrob 2021-12-29T18:43:00Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/adjusting-balloon-dart-leader/m-p/1129509#M49431 <P>Can you move the stem? The stem location will change when you move the callout box.&nbsp; Try moving it closer to the point of the dart, then move left to right.</P> Wed, 29 Dec 2021 18:53:30 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/adjusting-balloon-dart-leader/m-p/1129509#M49431 ABishop 2021-12-29T18:53:30Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/adjusting-balloon-dart-leader/m-p/1129543#M49437 <P>No, you can move where the leader points and the callout, but it decides how to draw the stem. Seems to switch from a left side and a right side position based on proximity with no further options for adjustment. It looks like I'll need to pop it into Illustrator.</P> Wed, 29 Dec 2021 20:08:58 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/adjusting-balloon-dart-leader/m-p/1129543#M49437 wayfaringrob 2021-12-29T20:08:58Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/adjusting-balloon-dart-leader/m-p/1129559#M49443 <P>Yes, I saw that when I tested it.&nbsp; I know that if you have a feature class and you create labels with callout balloons then convert the labels to annotation, there is a way to edit the annotation vertices and you can control the stem much easier.</P> Wed, 29 Dec 2021 20:49:22 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/adjusting-balloon-dart-leader/m-p/1129559#M49443 ABishop 2021-12-29T20:49:22Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/adjusting-balloon-dart-leader/m-p/1129563#M49445 <P>Case in point.&nbsp; See my video attached where I demo editing the annotation of a label layer that I set using callouts.<div class="lia-vid-container video-embed-center"><div id="lia-vid-6289195984001w1046h540r180" class="lia-video-brightcove-player-container"><video-js data-video-id="6289195984001" data-account="6161463677001" data-player="default" data-embed="default" class="vjs-fluid" controls="" data-application-id="" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;"></video-js></div><script src="https://players.brightcove.net/6161463677001/default_default/index.min.js"></script><script>(function() { var wrapper = document.getElementById('lia-vid-6289195984001w1046h540r180'); var videoEl = wrapper ? wrapper.querySelector('video-js') : null; if (videoEl) { if (window.videojs) { window.videojs(videoEl).ready(function() { this.on('loadedmetadata', function() { this.el().querySelectorAll('.vjs-load-progress div[data-start]').forEach(function(bar) { bar.setAttribute('role', 'presentation'); bar.setAttribute('aria-hidden', 'true'); }); }); }); } }})();</script><a class="video-embed-link" href="https://community.esri.com/t5/video/gallerypage/video-id/6289195984001">(view in My Videos)</a></div></P> Wed, 29 Dec 2021 20:59:54 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/adjusting-balloon-dart-leader/m-p/1129563#M49445 ABishop 2021-12-29T20:59:54Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/adjusting-balloon-dart-leader/m-p/1129581#M49449 <P>I agree, much easier with annotation, but still not as fine grained as it could be.
