I know this ones been thrown out there before but is it possible to create a (non filled) custom leader arrow that has a heavier pen weight than the leader line.....and before KingRevit and WWHub reply with some condescending advice about 'trial and error' and 'help files'...yes I've given them a go and I've even read some other forums!

Im pretty sure you can create your own custom arrow, but I dont think you can make its linewight thicker. Go to Settings-->Annotations-->Arrow heads and create your custom arrow. Im using RAC2009, but I dont know if this option is available in 2008. Hope this helps =)

Thanks for the reply Timbo.. I got that custom size and angle bit sorted..it is just the weight of the arrow head I was wanting to change to appear heavier thah the leader line...(the big wigs round ere are bugging me cause the revit arrow is not office standard..hohum)..the question seems to have been around for a while and the only answer I've found so far are 'NO' ....I just thought someone may have nutted it out by v09....thanks again & have a good one

The next best thing you could do is create a "Detail Component - Line Based" family which includes your custom arrow head and leader line

Yes same response here. Not currently possible in 2009. Yes you can do workarounds using detail components but I wouldn't recommend it. Its just more to co-ordinate. Let Revit do the co-ordination of things like this and put up with some of its graphic flaws...

end of 2009, Revit 2010, still can't do it, the arrowhead is under the generic annotations line style, same as the leader line, how hard is it to make another line style in Arrow.rfa? 3 years and counting...

I've had this exact issue and this is all I've figured out so far.. very tedious and time consumming.. I will update when/if I figure out an easier way.
Use a spot coordinate instead of a text leader... photo 1: You gotta go into your property browser and scroll down to "spot elev symbol" open any one of those sub categories and duplicate. Type the text you want the leader to say here.... now, photo 2: make a spot coordinate, (you'll need a reference plane because it is supposed to attach to walls and whatnot.) Edit type - change leader to arrow head of your preference. change symbol to the text you just created in the project browser, and edit the line weights accordingly. Photo 3: scroll down in the type properties and change "top value" and "bottom Value" to none. AND MAGIC! pic 4: FINISHED! Unfortunately there is way too much text in my project to make a new text for every single one..
