I'm modifing the standard detail tag block
located
C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ACA 2013\enu\Styles\Imperial\Callouts (Imperial).DWG
1'st off I know you really should not have to modify it but we are.
When I do anything with this file even just saving it then try inserting the Detail boundry (circle)
I pick the location then get the circle to the size I want, then hit enter to put the tag in and I get an box coming up:
"NO SYMBOL DEFINED"
Again this was just hiting save on the Callouts (Imperial).DWG file not even changing the block yet??
any ideas other then leave the block alone.
Thanks Rich
Yep I created a back up and then opened it in AA2013 then hit qsave then created a new drawing tried intesrting the detail callout and then get the error.

I was not able to replicate this in ACA 2010.
To be absolutely clear, what I did was:
1. Copied C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ACA 2010\enu\Styles\Imperial\Callouts (Imperial).dwg to a different folder, as a backup.
2. Opened C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ACA 2010\enu\Styles\Imperial\Callouts (Imperial).dwg in ACA 2010. Saved the file and closed it.
3. In a new drawing file, used the out-of-the-box Detail Boundary A tool (Document Tool Palette Group, Callouts Palette), which references the C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ACA 2010\enu\Styles\Imperial\Callouts (Imperial).dwg file as the source file, and which specified the Anno_Detail_A2 tag in the Tag name property.
I had no problem placing the callout, including the tag.
The error message you mentioned, "NO SYMBOL DEFINED", is something I would expect to get if the Tag name specified by the Tool Palette tool did not exist in the target file or in the source file. If you did not change the name of or purge any blocks in the source file, did you make any changes to the Tool Palette tool?
Longshot here - do you have a customization running that purges files every time you save?
