Create Annotative Leaders and Multileaders
Leaders and multileaders on page 2309 are used to add call outs to your drawings.
You can create
annotative on page 2289 leaders through an annotative dimension
style and multileaders through an annotative multileader style.
When you create a leader, you create two separate objects: the leader and the
text, block, or tolerance associated with the leader. When you create a
multileader, you create a single object.
If the multileader style is annotative, the associated text or tolerance will be
annotative as well, regardless of the annotative setting of the text style or
tolerance.
NOTE It is recommended that you create non-annotative entities when creating
a mleader content block.
Blocks used in leaders and multileaders must be non-annotative.
You can change the Annotative property of leaders and multileaders in the
Properties palette.
