Creates a leader and leader annotation.
Summary
It is recommended that you use the workflow available through the
MLEADER
on page 1188 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 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.
List of Prompts
The following prompts are displayed.
Specify “first leader point”, or [“Settings”] <Settings>: Specify the first leader
point, or press Enter to specify leader settings
First Leader Point
The Number of Points setting on the Leader Line & Arrow tab of the Leader
Settings dialog box
determines the number of leader points you are prompted
to specify.
