		bool	keepDraftingAid,
		NXOpen.Annotations.LeaderBundle	leader
	)

inline

Converts a simple drafting aid into a GDT by creating a new GDT using the text, origin, and preferences from the drafting aid.

If there are other annotations that are dependent on the drafting aid, (for example, a label that has a leader attached to the drafting aid), those dependencies will NOT be copied over.

Created in NX3.0.0

License requirements: drafting ("DRAFTING")

Parameters

draftingAid	the drafting aid to convert
keepDraftingAid	whether to keep the drafting aid. If false, the drafting aid will be deleted
leader	specifies the leaders for the new GDT
