Creating Text with Leaders

A leader object is a line or a spline with an arrowhead at one end and an mtext object at the other. The leader object is not to be confused with the leader line AutoCAD LT automatically generates as part of a dimension line.

The leader object is associated with the mtext object, so when the text object is moved, rotated, or scaled, the leader object is updated accordingly.

You can copy text used elsewhere in a drawing and append a leader to it.
