Add leaders and callout shapes

Connect a note to a point in the design or place a shaped annotation container.

Use Leader or Callout Shape in Add Objects → Draw Shapes → Annotations. A leader and a callout container have different point and shape controls; choose the one that matches the annotation you need.

1

Place a leader

Choose Leader, pick the arrow-tip point, then the label position and enter the note. The guide is titled Callout Note and exposes Start and End coordinate fields. Follow the active text-editing controls to confirm or leave the label.

2

Choose the text frame

The Leader guide’s frame choices include None, Underline, Box, Rounded and Bracket. A placed leader has additional supported text, frame, line and marker properties in the Inspector.

3

Place a callout shape

Choose Callout Shape. Set a container type, then place the body and its target point. The guide exposes Position, Width, Height, Target point and Text. Available container choices include speech/thought bubbles, cloud and geometric shapes.

4

Edit the annotation

Select the placed object for its supported properties. Double-click a supported callout shape to edit its text. Use Undo to reverse a committed annotation, and Esc for the current placement or text context. These annotations do not create shared comment threads automatically.
