Callout
Use the Callout tools in the Palette Window Toolbox to manually create or renumber callouts, or to connect callouts to objects in your drawing.
About Callout Tools
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).
