Editing a Callout Object

Editing the Callout Text

To edit the text of an existing callout object:

  1. Either double-click the callout object with the Selection tool, or select the callout object and click Edit Note from the Object Info palette.

  2. The Notes Manager: Callout dialog box opens.

  3. Enter the text changes and click OK.

Editing the Callout Graphic

    Edit the callout parameters from the Object Info palette; see Inserting Callouts or Keynotes.

    Use the Attributes palette to change the marker type.

    Set the text attributes using the Text > Format Text command. Alternatively, assign a text style to the callout.

    On the drawing, a callout object contains control points that can be moved with the mouse to change the callout text width, shoulder length, and endpoint position. A curved callout leader includes additional control points for adjusting the leader curvature.

    If there are several callout objects, use the Align/Distribute Leader Lines command to improve readability (see Aligning and Distributing Leader Lines).

    Callout objects are specified and drawn in page scale; they draw to the same apparent size, regardless of the layer scale. The callout object automatically re-scales if the layer the callout is on is re-scaled, or if the callout is cut and pasted between layers of different scales.
