Create callouts

Learn how to annotate an animation.

1. In the storyboard timeline, move the playhead to the time to display the callout.

2. Click the Create Callout .

3. Click to place the annotation in the canvas or select model geometry to attach the annotation to a specific component.

   Note: The color of the callout changes from red to green when you hover over model geometry to indicate associativity to that component. Callouts associated with geometry respect transforms that are applied to that geometry.

4. In the Annotation dialog, enter the text for the callout.

5. Click OK.

6. Drag the callout along the timeline if necessary to set the time at which the callout becomes visible in the environment.

Edit the text of an existing callout

• In the Annotation list in the storyboard timeline, right-click an annotation and then select Edit Callout.
• Double-click the callout, then edit the text in the Annotation dialog.
