Is there e Lisp or a command that RESETS all the multileader properties to the original style settings?? (like the dimension update command)
Thanks in advance.

What do you mean by "original style settings"?  What are you trying to accomplish?

If I change the size of the arrow or the text height or whatever properties of a single multileader, there is NO WAY to come back to its original properties. (based on the style of the multileader...)
The Dims have the UPDATE command that resets the properties mantaining the value of the text.

No.  There is nothing like that for multileaders.  Here's what I suggest you do: 
 
Create a template (DWT) file that contains all of the multileader styles you want to use.  Then, either use that file to begin new drawings or Design Center or a Tool Palette to drag in styles when you need them. 
 
If you want to use different styles, whether they differ by arrowhead size, text size or type, or whatever, create unique styles.

uhm.... I already use a template but that doe not solve the problem of the changing properties, and is simply a non sense do a style for any kind of m.leader change... this would create a huge list of styles with few objects in the draw.

If the MATCHPROPS command would work properly for ALL the properties of the m.leader maybe the problem would be solved even without the update command.

If all you want to do is reset all of the mleader styles to one particular style then use QSELECT to grab every one of them in your drawing and use the Properties dialog to reassign their style.  And if this is something you do often make a macro out of the procedure.

Give it a try... it does not work (at least in acad2010)
- take a dwg with 2 different styles
- draw 2 mleader (one mleader for each style)
- only in one of them change the arrow size
- select both and give to them the style you want
...
...
the arrow size will not reset to the original style but neither in the new style, ramaining to its changed dimension.
Correct me if i'm wrong. Pinch

Works for me.  Try your own test with the attached example file.  If what you described doesn't work either (1) you're doing something wrong, or (2) you have a problem with your installation.

I was not enough clear...
- take a dwg with 2 different styles
- draw 2 mleader (one mleader for each style)
- only in one of those leader change the arrow size from the properties (not in the style)
- select both and give to them the style you want

Correct me if i'm wrong. Pinch

Giving a different style (between mleaders not modified) there is any problem in my PC too Wink

You're correct if you change the properties this way.  Once you mess with the settings in the Properties palette you've overridden the style and you won't be able to get it back to a defined style again.  It would be better to change the arrowhead using a defined style type rather than the Properties palette.

I find it hard to believe however that you have so many different arrowhead sizes that you can't do this simply by defining a few multileader styles.  I use primarily annotative mleaders, and the arrowhead is not something I change very often across different style definitions.  Other things yes.
