The parallel option aligns the leaders so that each of the
00:08
last leader segments in the selected multi leaders are parallel.

Click undo to reverse the previous command.
00:16
Then start the align tool again.
00:19
Use a crossing window to select the three multi liters

right click and choose options.
00:30
This time when the program prompts you to enter an option,
00:33
select make leader segments parallel
00:37
the program prompts you to select a multi leader to align to
00:41
select square frame block.
00:44
As soon as you do,
00:46
the other two multi leaders move so that the
00:49
leader lines are parallel to the multi leader.
00:51
You selected
00:54
the spacing option enables you to specify
00:57
the precise distance between the multi leaders
01:00
click undo to reverse the previous command.
