Where do I find the settings for tagging valve sizes and the placement of those tags. I need to have them placed as shown in the picture but by default they want to place inside the top works of the valve. I was able to manipulate them and move them bellow but would like to have that set as a default value.
I am also trying to find where you place a trailing line off the leaders to point to your text. By standard we do not place a leader that is just a straight line to the text, we always have a trailing line leading to first line of text.
Any help is appreciated...thank you in advance
Hi Jeremy,
You can change the Placement count to 1 in annotation custom attribute on SIZE property of FLUID_REGULATOR class as shown below:
This setting will allow you to place the size tag wherever you want it to be.
You need to use Place Note command from Tools>Text>Place Note in order to have trailing line pointing to the text.
Hope this helps!

Thanks again Harpreet,
I did fix the trailing leader issue by checking off the In-line Leader so that issue is solved.
My other issue with the schema however is baffling. I proceeded to do the steps you suggested and in doing so brought up a slew of errors which ultimately led me to being unable to open the file in the end. Attached is a snapshot of the first error I received, I found this "missing reference" and copied it into the documents folder only to be alerted that another file was missing. After adding about four of these "missing" .xml files it ended with an error that disabled me from opening the file at all.
