Multileader arrowhead coordinates

I have a drawing with many items of multileader text and I want to extract the coordinates of the end of the arrowhead to use as a cogo point. These coordinates don't seem to be available in data extraction so any ideas how I can do this or if I have to manually select each arrow.

Thanks

Hi @Jeff_M ,

 

Just a 4th JPG (4.jpg) to give you an idea of what it looks like with more than one leader. I'm only interested in the first one, or any one for that matter.

 

Thank you again

@Jeff_M Thanks for the lisp, wonderful! I have a small problem with it. It doesnt seem to work on every mleader. Im attaching a sample of a survey I recived. Some Mleaders works great, but most of them dont. The lisp is throwing "....error.... AutoCAD.Application"

Ive tried with different contents, different styles, match properties. Tried to see if theres something different about the mleader, but icant figure out whats wrong.

Any ideas or solutions?

No Ive moved it to 0,0,0 from around 150000 meters.  But it doesnt seem to matter.

This is a strange one. All mleaders I've encountered the first one is always at index 0, yet the ones that are not working are at index 1. After some testing, it appears that this occurs when a leader is added and the original leader is removed. I will look at addressing this sometime in the future, swamped with a rush project right now.

Hi @Jeff_M. I loaded in the LISP file and keep getthing the error.... Automation Error. Problem in loading applicationbad argument type: VLA-OBJECT nil

 

I'm on AuotCAD MEP 2019 so I'm not sure if that's the problem or if it's something else. I'm new to the forum and literally just learned what a LISP file was after seeing it on this forum.

@jbutlerQNKVL this lisp is for use with Civil3D so likely not going to work with MEP.

Ah okay, thank you for the information. I definitely missed that the first time around.
