Add Content to a Leader
Leaders can contain multiline text or blocks to label parts of your drawing.
Leaders Containing Multiline Text
Leaders can contain multiline text as content. Text can be inserted by default when creating a leader style. Text style, color, height, and alignment can be applied and modified in leader annotations. You can also offset a multiline text object by specifying a landing gap distance in the current leader style.
You can create annotative multileaders with text as content. The text content will be scaled according to the specified scale representation. Width, justification, attachment, and rotation settings for text content can be different depending on the specified scale representation. Actual text content cannot change with the scale representation.
There are several options for placing multiline text as content in a leader object.
| Top of top line |
|
| Middle of top line |
|
| Bottom of top line |
|
| Underline top line |
|
| Middle of text |
|
| Middle of bottom line |
|
| Bottom of bottom line |
|
| Underline bottom line |
|
| Underline all text |

Multileaders can contain blocks as content by applying a multileader style that references a block in your drawing.
Blocks can be connected to a multileader by attaching the landing to a selected insertion point on the block. You can also connect a multileader to a center point on the selected block.
You can create annotative multileaders with blocks as content. The block content will be scaled according to the specified scale representation. Any attributes within the block content will not change with the scale representation.
