quick leader
(OP)
Is there a way to use the quick leader command and have the leader (i.e. the leader and arrowhead) already exploded. I am looking for a command similar to "dimaso" however, would be associated with quick leaders. Basically, I do not want the quick leader to be associative.
Thanks
Thanks

RE: quick leader
can't help but ask, why don't you want leaders to be assoc. with text items?
can't tell you how frustrating it is to modify a drawing that has non-assoc. leaders.
just my 2 cents.

RE: quick leader
1) you can't re-point them/re-angle the 1st ext. line
2) you can't globally alter arrowhead size
If you don't want the leader assoc. with text then turn mtext off (in leader options) and use your own (this will speed up dwg regen time too). Hope i haven't missunderstood your question....
