Linking Callouts to Multiple Parts

Use

You can create callouts that only apply to selected parts. These callouts, once created, display in the Callouts panel under the selected Callout List.

In some instances, you may wish to reference a number of parts from a single callout. You can perform this action by adding leaderlines that link the callout to an additional part or parts. The formatting of any additional leaderlines is consistent with the Callout List Profile Settings relating to the Callout List.

When you add a leaderline referencing further parts, the referenced quantity in the callout list increments by one.
