About Callout Tools
• Use the Callout tool to create new Callout elements. (See Creating a Callout.)
• Use the Renumber callouts tool to manually renumber automatically-numbered callouts. (See Changing the Numbering for Callouts Manually.)
• Use the Connected callout tool to connect Callout objects to other objects in the drawing. (See Callouts Connected to Objects.)
About Callout Objects and Connected Callouts
Callouts you create manually with the Callout tool are Callout elements. A Callout element must be converted to a Callout object before you can connect it to a drawing object using the Connected callout tool .
To convert a Callout element to a Callout object, add object information to it, the same as you would if you were converting a graphical element to an graphical object. (See Object Info.)
* 
Automatically-created callouts are created as Callout objects that are connected to drawing objects.
About Callout Styling
You can change the text and graphical attributes of selected callouts in the Callout element info dialog box. (See Callout Element Info.) In addition, if you select a connected Callout object, you can view its Connected Objects properties in the Callout element info dialog box as well.
You can use the Callouts window in the attribute window to apply a predefined callout style (a named set of callout text and graphical attributes) to selected callouts. You can also create and edit callout styles in the Edit callout style dialog box available from the Callouts window menu. (See Show Attribute Window).
