Step 2: Place a callout tool of the desired type in the drawing:
If you want to
create a callout without a referenced view
create a detail callout
create a section callout
create an elevation callout
For a list of callout tools shipped with AutoCAD Architecture, see
The Place Callout worksheet is the central place for creating callouts. Here, you define whether you want to
connect the callout with a model space view, where the model space view should be placed, and what its scale
should be.
For example, if you have selected a section callout tool, and choose to place the resulting model space view
in a new drawing, a drawing based on the section view template is created, containing a model space view
with the section, as specified in the tool. For detailed information about tool settings, see
of a Callout
Step 3: Define the location for the new model space view generated by the callout.
You can choose from these locations:
in the current drawing
in an existing project view drawing
in a new project view drawing
Step 4: Place the model space view on a sheet.
NOTE When the model space view is placed on a sheet, field placeholders in the callout like the view number or
the sheet number, are resolved. For more information, see

The Properties of a Callout Tool

You can use callout tools to create section views, elevation views, and detail views that are referenced to a callout.
Depending on the view type you want to create, you need to set different options in the callout tool.
