Can someone please tell me how to create a dimension like this in AutoCAD? Thank you.

For the rest of the dimensions it depends if you are doing the job in 2D or 3D. 2D is isometric drawing with its specificities, 3D is real 3D work with its specificities ( you have to be motivated to place dimensions in the model space, ask for it eventually ).

As far as I can tell there is no Parameter option for the LEADER command in plain AutoCAD.  As a matter of fact there are no options at all.  If you want options you have to use the MLEADER command.

Use the MLEADER command to create multiple leaders from the same annotation.

One more thing....note that some of the annotation pictured above is NOT isometric.

And lastly, if you really want to get technical about it you could even create/use isometric arrowheads.

Re: arrowheads.

Users would have to make their own oblique arrowhead blocks and substitute them for the default arrowheads AutoCAD normally uses in dimensioning a drawing.

I wasn't looking for a drawing.  If I need a single line isometric piping drawing I do it in 3D.  If I need something like what the OP has pictured above I do that, including the dimensioning, in 3D as well.
