Create Leaders

Creates a leader and leader annotation.

Summary

It is recommended that you use the workflow available through the MLEADER command to create leader objects. For more information about multileader objects, see Create and Modify Leaders.

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.

The following prompts are displayed.

Specify first leader point, or [ Settings] <Settings>: Specify the first leader point, or press Enter to specify leader settings
