ATH_LEADERTYPE
Controls the use of optimized labels. These system variables influence both the generation of new leaders and also the conversion of existing leaders from earlier ATHENA versions.
Labels in the new format can be positioned independently of the set label scale. For example, the label can be arranged closer to the component when the scale is set at 1:1 and with the scale 1:2 further away from the component.
On deactivation the position of the new labels no longer changes.
Labels in the new format cannot be edited in earlier versions of ATHENA!
