AutoCAD 2014 - Tip - Adding a Box Around Multi Leader Text

By Martin Phelps

Instead of adding a multi-leader with multi line text and then drawing a rectangle around the text, which does give the required result but can become very tedious when editing the text, since the rectangle also has to be resized.

Create a new multi-leader style and check the box “FRAME TEXT” in the “CONTENT” tab,

If the text requires editing, the box will now automatically update to the new multi-line text specification.

This function is not new but very easily over looked.
