Commands such as DIMLINEAR or LEADER create multiline text automatically
without requiring that a bounding box be specified; these objects have only
a single grip at the justification point.
When you need to align or move multiline text objects, you can use the Node
and Insertion object snaps for precision. If the OSNAPNODELEGACY system
variable is set to 0, the Node object snap ignores multiline text.
