Old leader styles

Two older-style leaders are stored in AutoCAD’s attic. (Autodesk hates to throw anything away because someone will complain about needing it for a vital custom menu macro that was created 20 years ago.) These semiretired leaders are no longer accessible on menus or toolbars, but they’re still lurking up there, waiting to . . . er, lead you astray. If you’ve become attached to typing commands, you may be inclined to type LEADer to create those pointy-headed thingies. If you do, be aware that the LEADER command runs the positively ancient command for creating notes-with-arrows. There are no options, so you see only straight leader lines and infinitely long text strings. LE (the alias of the qLEader command) runs the merely elderly command for creating notes-with-arrows; this one has a Settings dialog box where you can set some options, and it asks you to specify a width for the mText note. However, unlike multileaders, both LEADer and qLEader create the leader lines and the text as two separate objects.
