Small but significant update.
Love it now we need Assembly management 
This is fantastic. This feature alone has made me download the V9 WIP, to try it out.
Some feedback, and questions:
I’ve drawn a simple Leader. Just two clicks - arrowhead and end of tail. Then call up the Edit Leader dialogue and pick a “Circle frame”. First thing that looks a bit odd is that the leader stops short of the circle. How do I fix this?
I get that the Mask margin controls the size of the Frame, but changing the text height also scales it. How are the two related? For some of my clients, I have to set specific text heights and the balloon (circle) is also defined as a proportion of the font height. It would be useful to know how this is controlled in Rhino.
After playing around with the edit point for the arrowhead, I’d request that moving it doesn’t affect the position of the Frame around text: Instead, that the shaft of the leader is anchored to the area centroid of the Frame, and the frame itself acts as a mask that obscures the portion of the leader inside the frame. I have to move lots of these call-outs around on my drawings and often need to shuffle them around to make everything fit. I can have well over 100 of them on some views. Maintaining the visual alignment of the Frames around the drawing view is important. Being able to snap the centre of a circle (Frame) to a construction line would be very useful. Knowing that it will stay there even if I relocate the arrowhead would be even more useful.
The behaviour when dragging the edit point next to the mask is very much what I would hope for. The leader shaft remains in line with the area centroid of the Frame, which is perfect.
Thank you for this feature. With a few small tweaks, it could save me many tens, if not hundreds, of hours of work each year
