I don't think dogleglength is what you want. This example is original mleader was 33 tried dogleglength at 35 can see is way to long. Like twice the length required. it was like 70+ The only way I have found is to move either the 1st or last point and can get the desired spline length, but a big but must explode and recalc the spline point and then undo and reset the mleader then its length is correct. Or within say 1e-03 etc. I have not found a way to get a length of a mleader spline. Some one else may know. The default dogleg length is in the Mleaderstyle, I have started to play with it set to 0.0 asked me it makes it easier to work out lengths. Starting to look at making a spline so can easy recalc without any explodes. This shows in red what I consider the spline length. Note have to add arrow size. Please confirm. Can you also post a dwg with sample mleaders.

I applied this and the problem is solved for Hatches, too. Thank you

@SLW210 You are rigth this is the good direction for your ask. Try this (defun c:length2lead ( / AcDoc Space ss dog_l n sel obj) (setq AcDoc (vla-get-ActiveDocument (vlax-get-acad-object)) Space (if (= 1 (getvar "CVPORT")) (vla-get-PaperSpace AcDoc) (vla-get-ModelSpace AcDoc) ) ) (vla-startundomark AcDoc) (princ "\nSelect mleader") (while (not (setq ss (ssget (list '(0 . "MULTILEADER") (cons 67 (if (eq (getvar "CVPORT") 1) 1 0)) (cons 410 (if (eq (getvar "CVPORT") 1) (getvar "CTAB") "Model")) ) ) ) ) ) (initget 7) (setq dog_l (getdist (getvar "VIEWCTR") "nNew length for multileader?: ")) (repeat (setq n (sslength ss)) (setq sel (ssname ss (setq n (1- n))) obj (vlax-ename->vla-object sel) ) (vla-put-DoglegLength obj dog_l) (vla-regen AcDoc acactiveviewport) ) (vla-endundomark AcDoc) (prin1) )

As I suggested can move the vertices and return the new length or say draw something and move say the first point keep repeating till it is the length you want. Will have a play.

The Undo un-explodes them though. On my phone. Will have a look at the lsp tomorrow.
