Editing the Settings for Callouts

Use

You can establish callout settings within a callout profile, including the placement of callouts and the callout color. After callouts are created, they can be transformed using the 3D Editor, edited and deleted, and rendered within the scene. The Edit Callout Profile window can be used to establish these callout settings.

A Callout profile is a group of settings stored in a separate file. These settings are stored as XML files in the folder /Users/[user name]/Application Data/SAP/SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Author xx as .cst files.

There are a number of default callout profiles, each containing specific callout settings. These default profiles cannot be updated or deleted. You can also create your own (custom) profiles, which can be updated or deleted. For profile creation, you must provide the name of a new profile and specify the types of parameters (Tabs of the Settings window) to be saved.

You can use the Edit Callout Profile window to establish callout settings, including the style and placement of callouts and the callout color.
