Howdy!  We are experiencing an issue with Revit 2016.  We have placed numerous plan detail callouts, laying out each leader line as to not obstruct other notes within the views.  it seems that they have all now reverted back to a straight leader line automatically and on their own.  Does anyone have any info about why this is happening?  Is there a way to revert back or is there a setting to change?

I have a suspicion that one of the team members tried to edit a callout type and inadvertantly changed something that affected the leader lines.  But that is just a theory.  And I haven't a clue how to backtrack that.

Thanks!

there's no way to go back.  I would assume your assumption is correct, I would guess that someone tried to edit the family and reloaded it back in overriding the existing.

Any clue as to what edit might have made it change automatically?  Looking for the source of frustration...

Editing the family and then reloading the family into the project may do it.
