the parameter values as desired. Select the label, and access the Properties
palette to edit the alignment of the text and its readability instance
properties. The type properties of the label define the text used to display
the parameter values. You can assign a color and line weight to the text and
define whether the background is transparent or opaque. A tag with a label

Follow the Leader
You cannot define the type of arrowhead for a tag family leader when
you are editing the family. The leader arrowhead definition is a type
property of a tag family after it is placed into a project. It is a good idea
to add all your commonly used tags to your project template file and
then define the arrowhead. This lets users concentrate on using the
software instead of having to change properties with each new tag type
used.
