When I draw leaders, they are exploded. The same drawing contains leaders that are adaptive: the arrow swivels around when moving the text. I cannot find any difference in the property settings and there is only one dimension style in the drawing. How to enter new adaptive leaders?
I am drawing in AutoCAD 2006.

DIMASSOC


Controls the associativity of dimension objects.

0 Creates no association between the various elements of the dimension. The lines, arcs, arrowheads, and text of a dimension are drawn as separate objects.
1 Creates a non-associative dimension object. The elements are formed into a single object. If the definition point on the object moves, the dimension value is updated.
2 Creates an associative dimension object. The elements are formed into a single object, and one or more definition points of the dimension are coupled with association points on geometric objects. If the association point on the geometric object moves, the location. orientation and value of the dimension is updated.

Thanks, Ozzy84. Now that I have learned to read, it turns out "Leader" command is what I was loking for. "Dim+lea" does not seem to be affected by DIMASSOC.
 
Try the QLeader command and it's options?
