The ability to create leaders for point labels in Manifold 8 is a nice feature even if one could not adjust the width of the leader. The leaders were visible on screen, but would get lost on a printout if there was a background image involved. I got around this by creating my own labels and leaders within a layout. Additionally, I would take a layer that contained an arrow, drag it onto the layout, and adjust the rotation so that I could connect a text box with a feature on the layout. I tried to recreate the arrow layer concept in Manifold 9 (9.0.180.0). The result was far less than I expected. Either the arrow, when dragged onto a layout, appeared as a line (no arrowhead), or a very short arrow that I could not adjust or rotate. Obviously, what was working in Manifold 8 does not work the same in Manifold 9. Is there a better way to create leaders and arrows for use in a Manifold 9 layout that allows me to have the same ability to fine tune as I have with Manifold 8?
