Changing the Reference Label

By default, the callout head for a reference callout includes a label (such as Sim, an abbreviation of Similar). You can change this label to meet project needs or corporate standards. For example, you can use Mirror or Reverse as the reference label.

To change the reference label

1. In the parent view, select the callout bubble.
2. On the Properties palette, click (Edit Type).
3. In the Type Properties dialog, for Reference Label, enter the desired text.
4. Click OK to save your changes.
   Note: Reference Label is a property of the view you are referencing, not of this instance of the bubble. Therefore, all callouts that reference this view will display the same label.

You can change the way that the reference label displays in the callout tag, or add the referencing detail or sheet numbers to the callout head. To do so, create a callout head family, and add labels that use these parameters. See Creating a Callout Head Family.
