Creating a Reference Callout

Note: To create a detail callout or a view callout, see Creating a Callout View.
  1. Open the view in which you want to add a callout to a drafting view.
  2. Click View tabCreate panel (Callout).
  3. On the Options Bar, select Reference other view, and select a reference view name.

    If there are no existing views to reference, select <New Drafting View> to create a new drafting view. The reference callout will then point to this new drafting view.

    Note: If the Reference Other View list includes a view on a sheet, the detail number and sheet number display next to the view name.
  4. To define the callout area, drag the cursor from the upper-left to the lower-right, creating a callout bubble as shown by the dashed line enclosing the upper-left corner of the grid.
  5. To see the callout view, double-click the callout head.

    The callout view displays in the drawing area.

    If you created a new drafting view for the reference callout, the new view displays in the Project Browser under Views (all)Drafting Views. Create the drafting view as desired. For instructions, see Drafting Views.
