Project: Simple steel frame with concrete slab on composite metal deck. Issue: Drafting view - 2D "Typical Details" with annotations. Question: How do you get leaders from text to snap to detail lines? It seems the keyboard shortcuts such as SE to snap to endpoint or SN to snap to Nearest don't work in this situation. Note: Please no arguments or epic debates about Revit vs. AutoCAD as they are completely different tools.

I was wondering how to do this as well. Could you maybe modify the arrowhead family?

You are right, Revit and CAD are two different programs. Revit text leaders will automatically snap to a line but it is up to you to place it visually at the end of the line. And visually is close enough.

Bimman and wwhub are right. You can align the text from leader to leader, but the end of the leader will not snap to a detail line...one thing I wanted to add to wwhub's visual comment is in Revit you can make use of the arrow keys to nudge objects to where you "visually" want them. Caution though - which should be self-evident - is you do not want to apply the nudge to any object which needs to be accurately located. For text and leaders it works great, get em close and nudge em in place...enjoy!
