MarkMc Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 What'd I do? I was working on the layout- I didn't go near the defaults. I was trying to figure out the page macros and how to put in a page table- all that went just fine I though. Changed pages and the things looked odd? I had at one point clicked on the callout tool in the layout but don't think I put one in place. I tried deleting the view, doing a few rounds of save as. Going through archives (only a little way back in time though) I can open an older plan and get back the original size, send to layout and it stays there fine. IF I go and associate the elevations (back clipped) with that file THEN the Callout grows. What'd I do Zip file has plan and layout.

Joe_Carrick Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Mark, Check your defaults for what gets displayed below the line in the callouts. It appears that you have a macro assigned to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GerryT Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 FYI: I don't see any macros --- but you have automatic checked (below the line) in your callouts ,which is the default. This will pick up the layout label name for the layout page you sent the elev to. Only pickups on the the original send which is why you don't see the same effect if the elev are already there. Not sure I agree which this behavior? Uncheck auto or change you labels to something smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkMc Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 I can't find any macros in any of the default callouts. I tried uncheck automatic and got smaller but not where it started. In the process of building a new layout which so far is working. Have to head home for dinner (or in trouble) will get back to it in an hour. Thanks.

GerryT Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Once you send to layout with auto on (First check box) the label stays in the "below line" field. Uncheck Auto and erase that field. Leave auto checked for callout size or set manually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Joe_Carrick Posted August 4, 2014 Solution Share Posted August 4, 2014 Mark, The Callout Below the Line Automatic Label is the same as the Layout Page Label. The problem is that you put "Interior Elevations" in that field instead of a Sheet Number. See the attached Pic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkMc Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 Thanks folks, worked out, bless you all. I cleared all page labels and titles which settled things down. I unchecked "below line" before I put back the titles and left labels blank. All is fine now. Is there a default somewhere for "below line" or does that have to be done manually every time?

MarkMc Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 Only pickups on the the original send which is why you don't see the same effect if the elev are already there. Not sure I agree which this behavior? Uncheck auto or change you labels to something smaller. I'm not sure that it only picks up on the first send if I understand what you mean? In this case all the views were already on the layout, The page information was added afterward. When I was fiddling with archive files and save as I ran into one where the callouts were all fine- UNTIL I opened an elevation from the layout. Then the callout for that elevation only grew in size.
