Create and Modify Leaders (page 597)
Work with Leader Styles
The appearance of a leader is controlled by its multileader style. You can use
the default multileader style, STANDARD, or create your own multileader
styles.
The multileader style can specify formatting for landing lines, leader lines,
arrowheads, and content. For example, the STANDARD multileader style uses
a straight leader line with a closed filled arrowhead and multiline text content.
NOTE Annotative blocks cannot be used as either content or arrowheads in
multileader objects.
Once a multileader style has been defined, you can set it as the current
multileader style to be used when the MLEADER command is invoked.
Add Content to a Leader
Leaders can contain multiline text or blocks to label parts of your drawing.
Leaders Containing Multiline Text
Leaders can contain multiline text as content. Text can be inserted by default
when creating a leader style. Text style, color, height, and alignment can be
applied and modified in leader annotations. You can also offset a multiline
text object by specifying a landing gap distance in the current leader style.
You can create annotative multileaders with text as content. The text content
will be scaled according to the specified scale representation. Width,
justification, attachment, and rotation settings for text content can be different
depending on the specified scale representation. Actual text content cannot
change with the scale representation.
