To Create a Callout Block

Use this procedure to create a block that contains attributes for the callout tool.

  1. Click Insert tabBlock panelCreate Block.
  2. Enter a name for the block.
  3. Click Select Objects, and select the attributes and additional graphics to include in the title block.
  4. From the Drag-and-drop units list, select Unitless.
  5. Create the block.
  6. Save the drawing containing the callout block.
    Note: By default, callout blocks are placed in C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ACA 2014\enu\Styles\Imperial\Callouts (Imperial).dwg. You can save your callout blocks there, or create your own callout drawings. If you are creating a callout tool that will be used by multiple users, make sure that the drawing is located in a folder all users have access to. Otherwise, the tool cannot be used by all users.
