Is it possible to create a shape other than a rectangle when creating a callout?

I thought that was the case but I figured I would ask and see if there was a reponse otherwise.

You can adjust the radius to the corners so a circle is possible too.

That is interesting to modify the radius so it becomes a circle. That is a good trick. There is now way to have a polygon shape though is there, like an L shape?

Hey there,
I know that this qualifies as a "work around", but it works well for me.
If I want or need an "L" shaped callout, I simply place a callout the way it needs to shown in the specific view and then I go back to the plan and use drafted "white opaque" fill regions or white drafted lines to cover up the unwanted lines and radius corners of the callout. Then, I simply draw in the "L" shape on the plan with drafted lines to match my callout line style.. I pin everthing too so that they don't move on me later.

Hope this helps
Steve
