When I scale a viewport in my layout space the leader arrows sometimes disappear. Usually when viewport scale is set below 1/2(.5).

Re: Leader Arrows Disappearing in Layout Space Viewports
I see this has been viewed a couple of times but no one has commented. Just wondering if I could get some feedback, is this a bug or am I doing something wrong. Thanks
Re: Leader Arrows Disappearing in Layout Space Viewports
I haven't had a chance to look into this yet.
Generally, leader arrows are not displayed if the arrow occupies more than half of the segment it is on. This could be causing this, but as far as I can see, this should not happen here, so this would be a bug, yes.

Re: Leader Arrows Disappearing in Layout Space Viewports
Thanks for the response. I think you hit the nail on the head. I did a little experimentation if a draw a 2" leader with a 1" arrow, put it into a viewport that is 1:1 scale the arrow appears. If I then put the same leader into a viewport at .99 scale the arrow doesn't show.
The same held true for the orignal file I attached, the viewport with the one missing arrow is scaled to .33. I assume, the scaled arrows in that viewport would now be .33" but when the segment it is on is under 2" the arrow disappears.
It appears as if the what ever logic is being used to check if the arrow is larger then half the segment it is on, is using the size of the unscaled arrow not the size of the scaled arrow. But that's just my two cents.
