Placement Tab Page

Use

The Placement tab page in the Edit Callout Profile window is used to define the placement of callouts when using the Auto Draw or Add Selected Nodes

The Placement tab page offers the following features:

Elements	Functional Description
Circular	Creates the callouts in a circular pattern around the object or node
Object Perimeter	Creates the callouts around the object perimeter
Rectangular	Creates the callouts in a rectangular pattern, in any combination of the positions top, bottom, left, or right
Near Object	Positions the callout close to the associated object in any combination of the positions top, bottom, left, or right
Combine for Same Part	Produces a single callout with leaderlines to each like part.
Draw One for Same Part	Create only one callout and leaderline for duplicate parts or nodes
Draw for Invisible Objects	Create callouts for parts even if they are hidden in the viewport.
Point to Mesh Edge	Position the callout leaderline on the edge of the mesh.
Interactive Draw In	Redraws the callouts after the model has been moved. This parameter defines the number of steps required to redraw the callouts.
Distance	The distance for the callout from the object (only selectable if Rectangular is checked): Diameter: Displays the callout a specified distance from the object using a multiplication factor. For example, 2.0 generates the callouts a distance of twice the diameter of the object or node. Smart: Automatically generate callouts in the optimum position in relation to the object or node.
Always on Top	All callouts are on top
Billboarded	Controls the scaling of callouts.
