Let's take a quick look at the new MLEADER (or multi-leader) in AutoCAD 2008.

Here is a screen shot showing some of the different types of things you can do with MLEADERs.

Notice that you can apply linetypes, use some "built-in" shapes (or your own blocks) for terminators, and that the blocks can be a different color than the leader(s).

The best thing is that now you can have more than leader (or pointer). After you construct the first segment, select it and right click, then choose Add Leader. You can also use this toolbar button.

Another cool feature is the ability to line up several separate MLEADERs.

Note that you don't have to line them up vertically. You can line them up along any angle. The command name is ._MLEADERALIGN.
