**a.** Please read up on how to post Ruby code in the forum:

- [[How to] Post correctly formatted and colorized code on the forum?](https://forums.sketchup.com/t/how-to-post-correctly-formatted-and-colorized-code-on-the-forum/46189/1)

**b.** Your hardware info in your forum profile looks to be out of date.

**c.** LayOut documents are weird in that many stylish features must be accessed via substyle.

```ruby
# Where label is a reference to your label object:
style = label.style
substyle = style.get_sub_style(Layout::Style::LABEL_LEADER_LINE)
substyle.stroked = false
substyle.start_arrow_type = Layout::Style::ARROW_NONE
# Set the style to apply changes
style.set_sub_style(Layout::Style::LABEL_LEADER_LINE, substyle)
label.style = style

```

So, basically if it does not work assigning to the [`entity.style`](https://ruby.sketchup.com/Layout/Style.html), then try assigning to it’s [`substyle`](https://ruby.sketchup.com/Layout/Style.html#get_sub_style-instance_method).
