Leader+

The leader+ command adds a new arrowhead arm to an existing multileader. The new arm points from the leader's existing dogleg to a new arrowhead tip you click. All styling — dogleg position, text, arrowhead type, and size — is inherited from the selected leader.

Adding an arm

  1. Type leader+ in the terminal.
  2. Click an existing multileader to select it.
  3. Click the new arrowhead tip, or type X,Y and press Enter for an exact coordinate. A preview line shows from the cursor to the leader's dogleg.

The arm is placed and the command stays active — you can immediately click another leader to add more arms. Press Enter, Space, or Escape to finish.

Coordinate entry for the tip

Instead of clicking, you can type an exact position:

  1. Type the X value.
  2. Press , — the terminal confirms X is locked.
  3. Type the Y value.
  4. Press Enter to place.

Notes

  • Only Multileader entities can be selected — clicking any other entity type does nothing.
  • The new arm originates at the existing dogleg; you only choose where the arrowhead tip goes.
  • There is no limit on the number of arms a multileader can have.
