MLeaders - 1 text, 2 arrows

[MarkFitz]

A relatively simple one today, for anyone but me, apparently, as I can't find this on Google.

I want to show 1 article of text, but place it between 2 objects, and have a leader arrow on both sides of the text, 1 to point to each object.

Help...?

Thanks,

Mark

Sorry but there's OOTB tool for that. You'll need to add the second leader manually. You'll most likely need to manually move and lengthen/shorten the leader length and arrowhead position.

Hi,

You can add and remove leader from start .. after you make the first mleader .. select it then right click to add/remove mleaders .

Or you could just abbreviate MLEADEREDITADD command (or type the whole word and follow the prompts).

In addition to the other options given, after you create the multileader and exit the command just select the multileader and on the ribbon choose the Add Leader option.  After creating the second leader you can select it again and move the text around with the grip and the leader will adjust.

As a bonus, once you have added additional leaders to your mleader. Select the multileader and then hold down CTRL key. You can select individual leaders and apply a different terminator in the properties palette.
I use arrows and DotBlank for labelling reinforcing steel. Handy trick.

To manually add a second leader to an existing multi-leader, go here.

If your existing leader is attached to the right side of your text, attach the new leader to the left. If, however, the existing leader is currently attached to left, attach your new leader on the right. Either way, you'll have text in the middle and leaders on both sides.
