Multi-Leader Entities

autocad_entity: autocad_multi_leader

Multi-leader entities are not read and represented as a single feature. Instead, they are exploded into their components which may include leaders, text, multi-text, lines and blocks of lines. These features will share a value for the autocad_entity_handle attribute and will have the autocad_original_entity_type attribute set to autocad_multi_text. Writing multi-leader entities is not supported.
