Creating New Callout Tools
AutoCAD Architecture provides a number of predefined callout tools. You can
also create callout symbols with user-defined visuals and content.
Using Fields in Callout Tools
Fields enhance the documentation capabilities within a drawing file. A field
is updatable text that is set up to display data that may change during the life
cycle of the drawing. When the field is updated, the latest value of the field
is displayed. Usually, you use property set data for this type of updatable
information about the building model. However, property set data can be
used only in MV-blocks. Fields can be inserted into manual properties in
property set definitions, text, MText, attribute definitions and AutoCAD table
cells.
For detailed information about fields, see “Use Fields in Text” in AutoCAD
Help.
There are a number of predefined fields for sheet set information. Most of the
fields refer to the current sheet, and should be inserted only in a sheet drawing.
When you are creating a callout tool, you will often use a field from the Sheet
Set Placeholder category: These fields let you define a field as a placeholder
in a callout for a referenced sheet. The fields are resolved when the callout is
referenced into a sheet. For more information, see Resolving Fields in Callout
Symbols on page 3689.
