Callouts

[Steve N]

I think I am being driven insane. I am trying to position a callout in
a certain fashion, just the plain box with an articulated pointer, and
it keeps moving the connection point to the wrong side of the box, or
essentially flipping the text box to where it is over another callout.
When I move the pointer the box flips back but the pointer moves to
where it overlies another component.

How do I just move the connection point with the callout box?

Thanks in advance.

Steve

Steve,

If it is a true callout, you might get a little yellow arrow on the end that
allows it to be dragged. However, it has probably got a connector on it,
which means it will jump to a node. There is a tutorial listed here about
how to make those things stick to exactly where you want them:

Please let us know how you get on.
