Convert Multiline Text to an MLeader (Mtext2MLeader)

With our Mtext2MLeader tool, you can quickly change an entry of multiline text (MText) in your drawing to a Multileader (MLeader) callout.

 

An MLeader is a type of callout where the entire callout – leader, arrow, and text – is combined into a single and contiguous entity. MLeaders are extremely easy to move and edit. More information about MLeader callouts
