Remarks

The leader is a line that connects some annotation to a feature in a drawing. Leaders and their annotation are associative, which means if you modify the annotation, the leader updates accordingly. The annotation can be a Tolerance, Mtext, or BlockRef object.

You can also create leaders that are not associated to a particular object. To do this, simply input a NULL object as the annotation.
