    Create a Detail View call-out without head, tail, or boundary line.

    How do I place a call-out only without head, tail, or anything else?  Currently I have to create a Detail Call-out and stretch the boundary to a very small rectangle so it won't show up when print.  And I don't want fake call-outs that don't link.

    Thanks a lot.

    One approach could be as follows:

     

    1.  Manage > Additional Settings > Callout Tags > Duplicate > Name accordingly

    2.  Set Callout Head > None, OK

    3.  Add Detail Callout > Select > Edit Type > Duplicate > Name accordingly > Set Callout Tag > new type

    4.  This will remove head geometry, and then you could simply hide the dashed callout line by element in the view:

    Hope this helps, thank you,

    What if I wanted to create a new callout tag that can be placed (separately) at the end of a line of text.  Such as:  Refer to Detail 10 / A501     How would I modify a reference tag to make it work like this?

     

    Thanks!
