I am trying to create a callout that only has the valve #. I can't figure out if i'm supposed to be working out of LandFX>Blocks>Graphics>Callouts or LandFX>Blocks>Graphics>Irrigation>Callouts. If I can figure that out I should be able to use an existing block as a template and just modify it and do a "save block" At least that's my thinking.
I was able to create a schedule symbol no problem in LandFX>Blocks>Graphics>Irrigation>Schedule_Symbols no problem but cannot figure out how to create the block used in the plan.

I should also ask, what exactly are you aiming to do? When placing the callout you can stack your labels off to the side and right click, the leader will disappear and the valve number will appear next to the valve. You could then run a valve schedule as a reference point for everything else.
These changes should be made to the LandFX>Blocks>Graphics>Irrigation>Callouts location. However, it is not as simple as doing just a "Save As" for that one block. You will need to make the changes to every block for every size available. Your best bet would be to make the change to the exact callout style for all sizes, overwriting our block entirely. Then, make a backup of these changes for future need. This way, if you need to use our original block you can just simply delete the edited version entirely from the callouts folder and the default will come back in automatically. Then, if you want your revised block back, just copy it back into the callouts folder and replace the default blocks. Make sense? Give us a call if you run into any problems.
