Metadata Callout Window

Use

Being able to call out multiple values simultaneously allows you to display vital information about the part. For example, you may wish to show the Partnumber, MaterialID and Material type at the same time.

You can use the Metadata Callout window to determine the general appearance of callouts that contain metadata. In this window, you can choose the types of metadata to display, and determine the way in which they are separated in the callout.
