QLEADER
Creates a leader and leader annotation.
Summary
It is recommended that you use the workflow available through the
MLEADER
(page 654) command to create leader objects.
You can use QLEADER to
 Specify leader annotation and annotation format
 Set the location where leaders attach to multiline text annotation
 Limit the number of leader points
 Constrain the angle of the first and second leader segments
You can use the
Leader Settings dialog box (page 867) to customize the
command so that it prompts you for the number of leader points and the
annotation type suited to your drawing needs.
If associative dimensioning is turned on with DIMASSOC, the leader start
point can be associated with a location on an object. If the object is relocated,
the arrowhead remains attached to the object and the leader line stretches,
but the text or feature control frame remains in place.

prompted to specify.
