Save a series of command steps into a single file name like a script. All you have to do is to replay it and all the commands in that file are executed like a single command.
If I remember correctly, Generic Cadd had that very simple functionality back in the early nineties, if not before - I had a whole bunch of productive macros. I've yet to figure out how to create them in ACAD 2006; I seem to always have too much work AND a life..............

Interesting - well, I try to learn something every day, and I did! Thanks. I always am amazed at what is buried in AutoCAD...
Just use Mleader which can be found in the annotate tab>Leaders>multileader. You can move your text associated with the leader anywhere and the arrow will follow.
You have the leader and the text as separate objects??? Ugh!
I'm pretty sure Brad uses Intellicad, and they don't have multileaders. For me, that's something I can't live without.

I get drawings that have that sometimes and it makes me nuts. The multileaders make it so easy... just drag the leader or the text wherever you want and everything automatically lines up. Piece of cake

Yes I run iCad. But when I do try to use some form of multileader it does not behave the way I want. I just need to spend an hour learning more about the settings etc. Meanwhile the SHIFT temporary ORTHO tip above from Stephen et al wins the day for me for now.
If you have a fillet radius set and want to fillet lines at a zero radius you can hold shift while making the line selections. That way you don't have to set your fillet radius back to zero.
