AUTOCAD 2008 PREVIEW GUIDE
Using Multiple Leaders
New Multiple Leader tools enable you to create leaders with more control and flexibility than ever before. You
can easily access the Multiple Leader tools from the new Multileader panel on the Dashboard.
Figure 41. Multileader Panel on the Dashboard.
Using the Multiple Leader tool (MLEADER command) you can create a leader head first, tail first, or content
first. A right-click menu provides easy you to each of these methods and the method you specify remains
persistent for subsequent Multiple Leaders.

The new Multileader Style Manager (MLEADERSTYLE command) enables you to control the format and
display options of Multiple Leaders using Multileader Styles; similar to how you use Text Styles, Dimension
Styles, and Table Styles to define other types of AutoCAD objects. You can specify the leader format including
the type of leader line (straight, spline, or none) and the type of arrowhead. You can specify the leader structure
including whether it is associative. And you can specify the content including the ability to assign a Block rather
than MTEXT.
