I'm not sure if this issue has been answered previously, but I did find a solution
I took part in a previous discussion (link below) where we were discussing how CONNECT no longer allows a negative offset for the Left Margin for Notes. This setting would be in the dimension styles dialog under the Text tab, Notes Field. This caused a problem where making an extended length in-line leader would push the text away from the in-line leader for a multi-line note that the last line of text was shorter than any previous line.
If you try to apply a negative value for the Left Margin it will not be accepted and will turn to a positive number.
The fix I discovered is to place the note as shown in the screenshot. After placement you can use the Change Dimension tool and set the in-line leader length to the proper value to achieve the correct result. Previously I had used trial and error to get the correct length by applying various values. A user finally realized that if you count the number of characters (spaces included) between the end of the in-line leader and the last character in the lower line and add 1 to that number you get the correct length of in-line leader.
In v8i you could enter a negative value for the left margin and place the note in one step.

Hi, I came across your thread and tried what you posted with out any luck was wondering if you had any other suggestions?
This is what comes in originally based on a linestyle that the DOT has set up
When I try to use the fix you described this is what I get
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Now if we can just get Bentley to fix it so that we can put the negative in there like we did in v8i it would be great :-)
Thanks,
Kathy

You need to place the note with the default settings first (what you have set in your first screenshot). Once the note is placed go to Change Dimension tool. Change the I-n0-Line Leader value whatever you think it needs to be then click on the leader.

Thank you so much for the help. I was trying to set it up before placing the note.
No problem. Glad it helped. In v8i you were able to apply the settings prior to placing the note. As you have discovered CONNECT does not work in the same manner.
Very true, we are finding a lot of things work different or not at all in Connect but we know it is still in the works every day is a new day with new patches or fixes.
