To edit leader text
1 From the Modify menu, choose Object ➤ Text ➤ Edit.
2 Select the leader text to display the Multiline Text Editor.
3 Edit the text in the Multiline Text Editor.
You can also right-click the selected text, click Properties on the shortcut
menu, and then edit the text in the Properties palette.
Any modification to the annotation that changes the annotation position
or attach point affects the leader's endpoint position. Rotating the anno-
tation causes the leader hook line (if any) to rotate.

Change Text Scale and Justification
You can change the scale of one or more text objects, attributes, and attribute
definitions, or their insertion points, simultaneously without changing the
location of the objects.
Change the Scale of Multiple Text Objects
A drawing may contain hundreds of text objects that need to be scaled, and
it would be tedious to scale them individually. Use
SCALETEXT to change the
scale of one or more text objects such as text, multiline text, and attributes.
You can specify a relative scale factor or an absolute text height, or you can
scale selected text to match the height of existing text. Each text object is
scaled using the same scale factor, and it maintains its current location.
Convert Text Height Between Model Space and Paper Space
The
SPACETRANS command converts distances between model space units
and paper space units. By using
SPACETRANS transparently, you can provide
commands with distance entries relative to another space. For example, you
may want to create a text object in model space that matches the height of
other text in a layout. From model space, you could enter
Command: text
Specify start point of text or [Justify/Style]: 1,3
Specify height <0.375>: 'spacetrans
>>Specify paper space distance <1.000>: 3/8
Resuming TEXT command
Specify height <0.375>: 1.173
When the command is complete, a text object is created in model space with
a height of 1.173, which appears as 3/8 when viewed from a layout.
