Editing a Callout Object

Editing Callout Text

To edit the text of an existing callout object:

1.	Select the callout object to edit.

2.	Either double-click on the callout object with the 2D Selection tool, or click Edit Note from the Object Info palette.

The Enter the Text of the Note dialog box opens.

3.	Enter the desired text changes.

4.

Click OK.

The callout text attributes are editable by the Format Text command; line weight and marker style can be modified through the Attributes palette.

Editing Callout Parameters

To edit the callout properties:

1.	Select the callout object.

2.

In the Object Info palette, change the parameters as desired. The parameters are described in Creating a Callout Object. An additional parameter that is available in the Object Info palette is Leader Length, which allows the length of the leader line to be specified precisely with numeric values rather than with the mouse.

3.	On the drawing, a callout object contains control points which 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.

Re-scaling Callout Objects

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