Is there a system variable or some way to determine which callout blocks are available dependent on category?

it seems that when i define categories like detail, elevation, etc for my views, i am not shown the option for a callout block when i am referencing them on a plan view. but if i right-click (in the view list tab) and change the set category to (none), then i have options for whatever blocks i may have loaded in the properties of the sheet set.

any ideas? similar experiences?

thanks in advance,
jamie

Sure, Mike.
here's what happened. there were no blocks for the specific category (i'm right-clicking from the View List), so when i right-clicked to place a callout block, there was an option to define the blocks for this category. that opened a dialog box that let me choose which blocks should be available for the category. and wahlah!
