Introduction
Multileader objects are used to create text with leader lines such as general labels, reference labels, bubbles, and callouts.
Create a Multileader
To create a multileader, use the MLEADER command. Click the Multileader tool in the Annotation panel or enter MLD in the Command window. Follow the prompts and options in the Command Line.
After you create a multileader, select it and then modify it by clicking and moving its grips.
Grip menus appear when you hover over arrowhead and leader grips. From these menus, you can add leader segments or additional leaders.
You can edit the text in a multileader by double-clicking it.
Create a Multileader Style
You can create your own multileader styles from the drop-down list in the expanded Annotation panel, or by entering MLEADERSTYLE in the Command window.
For example, to create a "detail callout" style, start the MLEADERSTYLE command. In the Multileader Styles Manager, click New and choose a descriptive name for the new multileader style. Click the Content tab, choose Block, and then Detail Callout as shown.
Did you know that you can change the leader type, colour, linetype, line weight, arrowhead, and size on each individual leader leg as shown in image below.
You can simply do this by holding down the Ctrl key and selecting each or all leader line you wish to change. I have also put a short video to demonstrate how to do this:
Note: As with text styles, once you create one or more multileader styles, save them in your drawing template files.
