Moving Objects with Connected Callouts
The leader lines of connected callouts can move with the objects they are connected to when you drag the objects. The move behavior depends on whether or not your object selection includes the connected callout’s “reference object.” The reference object is the first object you selected when you created the connected callout.

You can select multiple objects to connect to when you create a connected callout. However, the existing callout’s leader line will only attach to the reference object. So, if you want the leader line to move with a particular object, be sure to select that object first.

Connected callout-to-object move behaviors are described below for the one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many cases. These behaviors describe how connected callouts leader lines move when you drag objects connected to them. You can, of course, select both connected callouts and objects and then drag them, just as you would unconnected callouts and objects.
Moving one object connected to one callout
When you drag one object that only has one connected callout, the anchor point of the callout leader line moves with the object while its callout text frame remains stationary.
Moving multiple objects connected to one callout
When you drag a selection of objects, some or all of which are connected to a callout, and the selection:
• Includes the connected callout’s reference object: the anchor point of the callout leader line moves with the reference object while its callout text frame remains stationary.
• Does not include the reference object: the anchor point of the callout leader remains stationary (as does the callout text frame).
Moving multiple objects connected to multiple callouts
When you drag a selection of objects, some or all of which are connected to one or more callouts, and the selection:
• Includes one or more reference objects for the connected callouts: the anchor points of the callout leader lines move with their reference objects while their callout text frames remain stationary.
• Does not include any reference objects: the anchor points of all callout leaders remain stationary (as do the callout text frames).
