I am trying to customize a callout tag and omit the bubble head portion. In place of the bubble callout head i would like to place a leader. (see attached WORD file w/ screen shots). I tried duplicating the callout tag type but its not allowing me to just make one callout tag with no head. Can anyone help me?

Well i want to get rid of the bubble portion and if possible the leader coming out of the callout. Yes just to have a leader with arrow coming out from the callout box.
Make the label read a parameter that will never have a value, or associate a visibility TYPE parameter to it and have it turned off by default.
Seems like a way to go about it, but how would i do that? I like the visibility idea to turn on and off, and if that could work on just this instance and not update all callouts in the project.
@Anonymous - you would need to create types in the tag family, and then callout view types in the project.
Yes, that i could do as well. In fact that is what i ended up doing for now. However ive come across this before and would like to find a way to be able to manipulate that family. Can system families be duplicated and saved as?
This is the system family break down for callouts. I guess looks like i would get rid of or hide visibility of the right most info. (which shows up in the bubble).

Open your Callout Head family that is assign to the Tag and associate the label's Visibility parameter to an ON/OFF Type Parameter (created by you). Create a new Family TYPE (e.g. "1/2" Invisible") with the default ON/OFF position unchecked; load it into your project and use that "Invisible" head Type in another Tag Type (Duplicate/Rename method) for use in those instances where you you don't want any label shown.
Thank you @barthbradley
Im gonna give that a try. Could be also a way to deal with the length of View Titles on a sheet!
I am pointing to a blown up portion of a plan. I used a in house text style called "Leader" that has no text attached, so basically you just get a leader with a void text placeholder (with not text to the right or left of the leader). That portion i would tuck or align into the call out tag box.

Since you are giving up on the bubble so you no longer need the call-out "lives", you could use a generic annotation family so that you can leader(s) more easily.
That makes more sense i guess since the original way puts alot of limitations on the overwriting of the system family. I did not know you could create a generic annotation family (DUH :/) I will have to look into creating one then, as it does take all the work out of modifying the system family. Thank you!
