- Add label blocks to views. With the Project Manager, you can label views and details automatically as you place them. Labels contain data associated with the referenced view.
- Add callout blocks to views. Callout blocks is the term for the symbols that reference other layouts. Callout blocks have many industry-specific names such as reference tags, detail keys, detail makers, building section keys, and so on. Callout blocks contain data associated with the sheet and view that are referenced. Note: When you place a callout block with fields or a view on a layout, make sure that the current layer is unlocked.
Create Callout Blocks and Label Blocks (Advanced)
If you create a block to be used as a callout block or label block in a project, you can use a placeholder field to display information such as view title or layout number. The callout or label block must be defined in a DWG or DWT file that is specified in the Details panel for the project. Later, you can insert the callout or label block from the Layout shortcut menu or the label block from the View shortcut menu in the tree view.
For the field to display the correct information about a view or layout on which you later insert it, the field must be included within a block attribute, not text, when you define the block. To create the block attribute definition, insert a placeholder field as the value, select the Preset option, and specify a tag.
