AutoCAD Pocket Reference, 4th Edition

MULTILEADER AND BLOCKS

In Section 3 you learned about Multileaders and how easy and helpful they are to use. Now you will learn another user option within the Multileader Style Manager that allows you to attach a pre-designed Block to the landing end of the Leader. To accomplish this, you must first create the style and then you may use it.

Here are a few examples of multileaders with pre-designed blocks attached:

STEP 1: CREATE A NEW MULTILEADER STYLE

  1. Select the Multileader Style Manager tool using
