With our Mtext2MLeader tool, you can quickly change an entry of multiline text (MText) in your drawing to a Multileader (MLeader) callout.

An MLeader is a type of callout where the entire callout – leader, arrow, and text – is combined into a single and contiguous entity. MLeaders are extremely easy to move and edit. More information about MLeader callouts

The first time you use the tool, you'll see a dialog box showing the available arrow styles for the MLeader callout you're about to create.

The cursor will turn into a pickbox.

The MText will convert into an MLeader callout with the arrow style you selected. The text in the callout will take on our Callout Title text style, including all the settings you currently have configured for it.
