This is what I'm trying to achieve, except with a Civil3D label.
I want to add the circle with the typical detail callout to an alignment label. I can format the text just fine, but can't figure out any way to add a symbol to a label. For example, I was thinking I would create a "water meter" style with the correct number for water meters, so there would be a block or something attached to the label.
Any suggestions on how to do this?
Solved! Go to Solution.
I made this one with two text components and a line component. It doesn't appear as though a block is necessary.
I did notice however the block component is also available for this type of label.
I believe you can add blocks to a style in the Label Style composer. See attached.
I concur with your route, Ian

I also tried adding a block. It worked, but I had some problems getting it to rotate to my viewport. It seems like using a text object gives me a little more control.
Make a block of the circle and stick with the insert point where the leader will attach. In the lable composer add a block, select the one you made adjust your fields to where they belong

the circle is one of the border shapes you can put around a text component. just set border to true and select circle instead of rectangle.
Thanks, I didn't notice that you could change the border shape. That works perfectly. This is the final result.
How did you get your labels to rotate from left to right of the circle symbol? Is that an automatic setting?
Thanks,

Thanks,
I'd like to know also. I've been manually moving the leader to snap to the edge of the circle or line every time.
