Bent leader

i have yet to see this ability in Keycreator but thought I'd ask since there are a lot of things I haven't niticed yet.
Is there a simple way/option to create a bent leader line such as in this example?

The reason for doing so, as in the example, is so as to give me a good point to place the Datum.

Thanks,

RE:Bent leader

That will get me close, that is a bent leader on the Datum (see below) but what I'd like to see is a straight leader on the Datum and a bent leader on the dimension, then I can attach a straight Datum leader to the dimension line as depicted in the image in my original post.

That is great news, thanks! Incidentally, what is "MBD"?
