Draw Multileader

You can create Multileaders with arrowHead first, leader Landing first or Content first. If you have used a multileader style before, you can create the multileader from that specified style.


After executing the MLEADER command or selecting the icon in the leaders panel, a message will be displayed in the command line> Specify the leader Arrowhead location or leader Landing first/Content first/Options:

If you select the option Arrowhead first, the Mleader will start from an arrow. You then have to specify the arrow and the leader landing location and you can then enter a text. See the example in the picture below:

If you select the option Landing first, the Mleader will start from a landing line. Then you have to specify the landing and the leader arrowhead location and you can then enter a text. See the example in the picture below:

If you select Content first, the Mleader will start from the content (text or block). Then you have to specify the first and opposite corner of the text and then write the content. Once you finished entering your text, click the outside of the text box. Then you have to specify the leader arrowhead. See the picture below:

Once you select Options, a message will be displayed in the command line> Enter an option: Leader type / Leader Landing / Content type / Maxpoints / First angle / Second angle / eXit options:

Every option will be described briefly below:

Leader Type: With this option, you determine which type of leader line to use. You can select a leader type, Straight /SPline /None:

Leader Landing: With this option, you can change the distance of the horizontal landing line. Use landing Yes/No:

If you choose Yes, you have to specify a landing distance: in below example, we input value 20 for distance.

If you choose No at this point, then no landing line will be associated with the multileader object.

Content type: With this option, you can specify the type of content that will be used. You can select a content type, Block/Mtext/None:

If you choose Block, a block within your drawing will be determined to be associated with the new multileader. Enter a block name:

If you choose Mtext, a text within your drawing will be determined to be associated with the new multileader.

If you choose None, no content type will be specified.

Maxpoints: With this option you can specify a maximum number of points for the new leader line. Enter the maximum points for the leader line: In this example, we enter the value 4, as shown in below picture:

First angle: With this option, the angle of the first point in the new leader line can be constrained. You can enter a first angle constraint or <none>:

Second angle: With this option, the second angle in the new leader line can be constrained. You can enter a second angle constraint or <none>: For example, you can apply this option when you are creating at least 3 Maxpoints for the new leader.

Exit options: You will return to the first MLEADER command prompt.
