I am trying to create mtext leaders and I am trying to follow the documentation which has these attributes
and
I have tried to create text adder at last point on leader line and then write a unique annotation handle to autocad on both leader line and text but the entities are not associated when I open in autocad.
Can I not create text in a leader?

leaderI can make the leader but I need to attach text to leader here is workspace. filegdb2acad.fmwt
hi @garydlester, seems you have to give the text a handle and then you refer too in the line. I added some attributes in your workspace and exposed the format attributes in the writer: now when i move the text the leaders follow, is this what you were looking for?

Yes that is exactly what I am looking for, your on a roll today!

@becchr I took your example and I added a landing to simulate a multileader. This is really cool.
Hi @garydlester, @becchr ,
For some reason, I'm not able to set the entity_handle thing. Could you share either of you workspaces again perhaps? It seems they're not downloadable anymore.

Here is something that works.

Cheers, I'll give it a go. support also re-enabled the links for the older downloads.

Thanks for the example. I got that far as well, but I was looking for a method to actually couple these, like in the example below where mtext and leader are seen as one object when selecting:
Now these objects above are multi leaders, and I know that FME can't write multi leaders. But I was hopeful that you trick with entity_handle and entity_anno_handle would make a link between them. However, it doesn't matter functionally whether or not you actually set these two attributes, or even use the correct value.
Perhaps I'm missing something?
