Modifying Callouts with the Arrow Tool
You can use the
Arrow
tool to move Callout elements and to change the length and orientation of their leader lines.
To Move a Callout
1. Select the
Arrow tool. The cursor changes to an arrow
cursor.
2. Click the Callout element.
3. Hold down the mouse button and drag the Callout element to a new position.
If you hold down the SHIFT key while dragging, the direction in which you can move the element is restricted to the major axes of the current grid and the horizontal axis.
If Grid Snap or Element Snap is switched on, the element points snap to the nearest element or grid points.
To Change Leader Line Length and Orientation
1. Select the
Arrow tool. The cursor changes to an arrow
cursor.
2. Click the Callout element.
3. Click a red point on the Callout element leader line.
4. Hold down the mouse button and drag the red point to change the leader line length, orientation, or both.
To change the leader line length only, hold down the SHIFT key while you drag.
In the same way as when you generate callouts with a leader line, the settings for Grid Snap, Element Snap, and Grid Alignment are also applied to any changes you make.
