The text in the note is in the current text style unless you specify another style in the Text tab
of the New Dimension Style or Modify Dimension Style dialog box. (For more information, see
the section “The Text Tab” in Appendix D on the topic's companion website.)
SETTING THE SCALE OF LEADERS
Multileaders have an Annotative option that allows them to automatically adjust to the scale of
the drawing. You can find the Annotative option setting in the properties for a specific multileader
in the drawing or in the multileader style setting. See the Scale option in Table 11.2, later in this
chapter, under Leader Structure tab.
The Multileader tool offers a lot of options that aren't obvious when you're using it. In step 1
of the previous example, after clicking Multileader, you can press ↵ to modify the behavior of
the Multileader tool. You'll see the following prompt:
Enter an option [Leader type/leader lAnding/Content
type/Maxpoints/First angle/Second angle/eXit options]
<eXit options>:
Table 11.1 gives you a rundown of these options and their functions.
