You can edit an object with connected callouts and get the same results as if the object did not have connected callouts. However, some editing actions will also affect the object’s connected callouts.

If you transform (e.g., rotate or scale) an object with connected callouts, the callout leader line anchor points remain fixed.

If you cut or copy connected objects or callouts, then paste them, their object/callout links will be broken. To link them, reapply the object/callout connection procedure:

Objects and their connected callouts can be on different layers. This enables you to, for example, create a layer for callouts that you can make visible or invisible.

To move connected objects or callouts to a different layer without breaking their object/callout links, use the Selection to active layer command on the Layer menu in the Attributes window.
