Multileader styles?

We recently upgraded from Autocad LT 2007 to Autocad LT 2011, and cannot figure out how to use our previous leader styles. They used to be tied in with the Dim styles--which we can still use, but they dont do anything for the multileader styles. How can i import the leader styles so i dont have to rebuild them all from scratch? or is there even a way to create a leader style from an existing leader?

MLEADER is a whole new animal and much easier to work with overall. I would suggest rebuilding as I think this will be your only option.
MLEADER's are not backward compatible so if you are still using 2007 seats they will become static and ordinary in that environment.

QLEADER
LEADER
MLEADER

Last one is different and new since LT2008, first two are the exact same
command names, command features, and command options you had in LT2007. Know
your commands.

Forgive me, but did you do any research before posting? Mleader is the only
one with a very defined style and as useless as Help is in 2011 it's pretty
clear they have nothing to do with Leaders or Qleaders of old. Look up the
other two commands, like you did in LT2007, they are still the same:
Leader:

Post back if you get stuck. Mleader is a much more powerful tool than the
older commands.

i understand it is a different command.

And no, i did not do very much research beforehand--the user had an issue that needed to be fixed asap, and we couldnt find the qleader command in a normal toolbar. We dont have time to take classes every year on each individual change to each iteration of Autocad, and i thought that this forum would be a good place to get an quick answer about a new feature (to us).
