Is it at all possible to have a different linestyle / lineweight / color for Detail callouts? Smaller callout boundaries for details turn into solid lines instead of the linestyle that they should be - a simple dashed line works so much better. I already have created subcategories in Object styles - getting them assigned is now the challenge. Thank you!

Great in theory, but this is what it looks like - the yellow highlighted callout is the result of the filter. Not what I want.
Getting to move these things over to their subcategory would be the best thing. All else failing - will keep both of them with dashed lines.
Snap! maybe pick an intermediate line pattern so it works for both large and small call-outs. Also, you can change the call-out types to have different corner radius so that they look more distinguished.
How do you change the call out types?
OMG I did it. The same trick that worked with the wall filter. Text parameter associated with callouts, applied with the drop down value that was stored from a previous instance (one more to go with my Scratch objects). Doesn't look half bad!
I was getting the same all dashed result after applying the filter. I changed the radius for our smaller callouts (used for window head/sill callouts in wall sections) but am still not able to change the linetype without it changing for all of lines (as in your image with callout circled in yellow). Could you show how you used a text parameter associated to the callouts?
Thank you!
This is an antique thread that you have exhumed @Anonymous! Different and easier approach here
I am not sure this will get the result I am looking for. I would like to have 2 different options for line patterns used on different types of Detail callouts. Our wall sections are at 1/4" and when making a relatively small callout at a window head or sill condition, the callout shows solid due to scale of the view and line pattern spacing. Unless I am missing something from your image.
Thank you!
Two different options? Create a filter. In your template, create a Callout. Edit Type. Create as many types as you need to. Create the filter - as many filters as types. Filter by Family And Type. Override the color, linestyle, etc as you need.
Hi @Sahay_R
I know this is an old thread but I am trying to accomplish this today but can't decipher your explanation. Can you give a more step by step on how you accomplished filtering where only the callout boundary line is affected and not the callout head or leader?
Thanks!
To alter the linestyle of the callout boundary line - you will need to go to Object styles and edit. Please see the previous screenshot.
You can create different type for callouts similarly to how you would create types for views like floor plans or elevations to create this filter.
this is as far as I can get with what you are saying. I don't want the top one showing the leader line and callout head dashed as well. I want those to stay unaffected.
Both have separate controls in Object Styles
I understand that is how to change just the one callout. But I want to have 2 options for callouts. Right now, making a filter to change how one callout type displays over another is causing the leader and head to dash. Here you are showing just changing the default callout details. For example, if you showed this callout in green at the same time showing another callout in red without the leader line or callout head changing. That is what I am trying to accomplish. Right now, when I filter for one of the callout types I don't see an option for it to only affect the Callout Boundary.
Try creating new subcategories
That doesn't affect how you are able to filter. I think this is something that Revit just can't do. It is unfortunate as it is something that should in theory be so simple and common.
Hmmm…. You’re right. Adding subcategories does not help and the filter does not distinguish between the callout boundary and the callout leader and changes them to the same linestyle . That’s unfortunate. Why don’t you submit an Idea to the Revit Ideas Forum - I would vote for it.
Pleae look at my post 7 in this thread.
