Leader & multi-leader

Hi All,
Not sure it was already mentioned... 
Just started to use 2026 Lt
I want to place a multi-leader. After placing the 1st one, when adding extra lines, it creates an extra one pointing at 0,0. I then need to delete that extra line/arrow...
Anyone having the same situation?
Cheers
Thierry

@tcarpentier If you start a blank new DWG file, does this problem still exist?


I am unable to replicate your issue in my own DWG files (old or new) in LT2026: can you share yours?

Hi Pendean,
First, thanks for replying...
I tried to replicate with a brand new dwg, it did not do it. So maybe it is in the leader style on our template. But I found another person who made a similar comment:

Thanks again for your help

I can't seem to replicate your problem on your drawing. I've just added a load more leaders to your one without any problems. See the image below

Hi H_S_Walker,
Tks for looking into this...
Just to make sure, have you tried to create a new one? Adding to the existing works no pb, it's just when creating a new one. Create a leader, then add x-tra lines. After you've added one, add a 2nd (3rd actually), that's when it goes to 0,0 for me.
Thanks again

No creating a new leader worked perfectly fine for me. See the image below

OK, I don't understand. It seems it's only happening with our template on our end and, with 2026 Lt or full. A colleague has tried the same command. She gets the same result as me. Then she installed 2025 full, this time, no problem, it works fine. We're going to write a ticket with Autodesk
Thanks again your help guys

First, I too am unable to replicate your issue.

 

But to get nitpicky.... this

For all of us, 0,0 is at the other end, where did this come from?

  What is ADOBE PDF driver? that's not a stock PDF driver

Why are you using a portrait sheet size for a landscape orientation?

Why is your default mleaderstyle setting not matching what you've placed? Are you rescaling them after placement?

How are you creating a new mleader? See above, my attempt, look like you do a lot more after the fact.

Hi Pendean,
I'm going to try answer all your questions the best I can. Keep in mind I'm an autoCAD user, playing with variables, internal settings is not my forte.
 
First, I'd mention that this template has worked for us since quite a few years/releases now. Only now with 2026, we have this situation.

- I don't understand why you had to recover this file.
- This template has the border as a dynamic block that contains several border formats, both metric and imperial. If I remember correctly, when I created that template, I had problems to have the border printed correctly. I had found that having the 0,0 on the left solved that problem. Also, the title block is a dynamic block too, and all texts are a block. A block that always stays at that point. That is also why I have my 0,0 there.
- About the Pdf driver, I have no idea... this is what comes with Autocad after installing it.
- The portrait Vs Landscape, I don't know why you have that. We pick the border size, ie A0 Portrait, then we change the page setup accordingly.
- We have different leader styles (common, with bubble, with elongated bubble  etc... and both metric and imperial.
- To create new Mleader, we select leader style, then in paper space, place one leader and then pick the command "add leader", if needed.

Hope that helps
