Remarks

A multileader line is an object that can be composed of an arrowhead attached to multiple splines or straight line segments. In some cases, a short horizontal line, called a hook line, dogleg, or landing, connects text and feature control frames to the multileader line. The MLeader object specifies a complex leader line. In contrast, the MLeader property of the DimDiametric and DimRadial objects specifies a simple leader line.

Any annotation attached to the end of the leader line is associated with the MLeader object and can be found using the Annotation property.

To create an multileader, use the AddMLeader method.
