Calling out for reference!

[shaunamorain]

OK- so I have a callout in which I am referencing another view (a drafting view)

I now need to display this view on a sheet as a detail, however, my callout is no longer displayed in the list of views. I do have the option to add the drafting view, but I want my callout to display what sheet number it is on-

Is there a way to add a referenced callout to a sheet so that the sheet info is displayed on the callout in plan view?

P.S. The following is what it says in the help- is this for a callout in a drafting view only?- I'll play around with this.

If a view from the menu list is on a sheet, the detail number and sheet number are displayed next to the view name. For example, if you choose a drafting view that is on a sheet, its name is displayed as Drafting View : Drafting 1 (1/A101), where the values in the parentheses represent the detail number and sheet number.

You would add the drafting view to the sheet and the callout would show the proper sheet.

You have to place the drafting view that is being referenced on a sheet. Only then will your callout info be displayed.

Wow! Thanks for the quick response!!!! :)

Ok- I'll experiment with that.

So- I have that squared away- it worked great.

I've stumbled across another problem- the other threads on this topic said to go to Settings>View Tags>Callout Tags (this did not work & I'm wondering if it had something to do with different callout styles in the save view??)

I've attached my question w/ some illustrations:

Do I edit the annotation family?

Use a section with the head you want and assign it to whatever view you need. That's how our structural guys reference the typical section details they link from CAD. Don't use a callout, which is really meant to do enlarged details.

Thanks dbaldacchino! That's just what I needed to hear!
