View Callout Styles

This section deals with view callout styles. These let you define the default values that will be used for projection, section or detail view callouts.

Defining View Callout Styles

View callout styles are located in the following nodes of the Standard Definition editor, available via Tools > Standards:

By default, a style called Default is available for each view callout style.
