Thanking you

You will have to change the calloutformat.txt file run a search here on that, it's been discussed before. To find location and how to change it. example - thread559-62976

As for using a symbol SW must have that symbol available to use it. If you select a Callout in a drawing you get and option in the property manager called "Variables". Select that and you will see a list of available symbols you can place in a Callout. Place that symbol callout in the place(s) you want it to show up in your calloutformat.txt file.

If the person you are sending the drawing to needs to add hole callouts to the drawing, they will need the file.

I do not think you need to send the calloutformat.txt file with the file for someone to read.
