Multiple Leaders for Tags
Summary: I would like tags to be able to have multiple leaders. Seems simple since text can, but tags cannot. Please add this feature. Thank you.

Re: Multiple Leaders for Tags
Hi ColoradoRic, I suspect that text and tag leaders are fundamentally different in how they're coded...
Unlike a text leader, a tag's leader actually points to the object the tag is "pulling' information from. Since a tag is only ever "pulling" information from one source object, it will only point to one object. I'm not sure tags can be coded to have multiple "live" leaders - intuitively I'd say this might lead to conflict for the software. i.e. if the information from the two source objects is different, which object should the tag's information be coming from?
However maybe there could be a way for tags to have extra "fake" leaders, for cases where you might, for example, want to point to more than one adjacent wall with the same wall tag...

Re: Multiple Leaders for Tags
This is easily achievable by creating multiple tags whose text overlap (they should snap to each other) while their leaders don't.
You still need to associate the tags with the correct elements. This is only useful when you have multiple instances of the same elements close to each other, and you want to annotate them only once and show multiple leaders.
Its easy to do, while having one tag create multiple leaders would be difficult because they would need to point at the same object types. Otherwise, what value would the tag display?
