Hi all,
I am on AutoCAD 2025 MEP as AutoCAD and recently notes that when I add a leader head via the right click menu of the leader grip or with the "aimleadereditadd" command the layer of the mleader object will change from the layer it is on (the "TEXT" layer) to the current layer".
Previously this layer change would not happen and the layer of the mleader object would stay on "TEXT" regardless of the currently drawing layer.
any help would be appreciated.
many thanks,
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi,
no help, but I like to confirm this issue (core AutoCAD issue, started with the new 2025.1 feature of MleaderLayer [F1])
I wrote to @Sridhar-Autodesk (Autodesk) and I am hoping they will change this behavior.

Yes it does appear that is behavior is linked to the "MLEADERLAYER" variable. the mleader was on on the layer "layer 1", the "MLEADERLAYER" variable was set to "layer 2", and my current layer was set to "0" after using the "AIMLEADEREDITADD" command to added a new leader head the mleader had changed to "layer 2".

As I said.
I hope it will be changed with one of the next updates/versions,
but you won't know until it's changed - you won't get any information about it beforehand.

You'll have to add your voice to the many of us that don't like this behavior: You can ask Autodesk for a change to to the program at a different website, never an option in these forum. The more colleagues and AutoCAD users that you can convince to ask for this exact need as you do the more likely it will get noticed.

Yes, for Mleader it is a good and welcome new feature,
for MleaderEdit, it's a bug (my opinion).

Sure,
if you read the help/documentation, the mleaderlayer feature added with update 2025.1
[F1] update 2025.1

in this thread I write that in one way they fixed the editing of mleaders, but one still has to have a layer to force their leaders to go on when inserting / adding a new leader from a tool palette for example.
In other words it's still not really fixed.
This should be an option or toggle for MLEADERLAYER;
Want to use a specific layer to put mleaders on, Enter 1. enter layer
Want to have mleaders come in on the current layer or any other layer (like in a lisp routine), in other words the old mleader behavior, Enter 0.
