Snapping to Multileaders?

[jgregp]

Anyone know if there is a way I can get NEAREST snap to work on the multileaders?

END and INT (where leader crosses other entities) work but cannot use NEAREST.

Can use NEAREST on normal leaders though.

May I ask why you wish to do this?

[jgregp]

I occasionally like to have a leader with 2 arrow heads. I do this so by drawing a 2nd leader and would like to be able to snap NEAREST onto the line of the first. As it is I have to zoom in fairly close and manually position the 2nd leader over the first. Attached pic probably explains better than I can.

Maybe I'm over complicating and there's a simpler method for acheiving this?

Turn on and use Polar Tracking instead of Ortho, especially when creating and adding the angled leaders: they will always be the same angle and is quicker to do what you seek.

Adjust Polar's angle options to suit your needs, I find 15 is plenty for me.

Thanks Dean, good idea, never hought to use polar tracking

Or, if it happens a lot, make a custom arrowhead with two arrows, and use that instead? Individual multileader segements can have different arrowheads.

Another good idea Kate, cheers.
