To modify a cell used for an annotation graphic

Open the one of the following cell libraries:

Cell Library	Content
Cell library file specified by the configuration variable TFANNOTATION_CELL_LIBFILE	Cell graphics for all annotation tools except Coded Note
Cell library file specified by the configuration variable TFANNOTATION_CODEDNOTECELL_LIBFILE	Cell graphics for Coded Note main callout
Cell library file specified by the configuration variable TFANNOTATION_CODEDNOTETERMCELL_LIBFILE	Cell graphics for Coded Note terminator
Cell library file for Scale graphic specified by the configuration variable TFANNOTATION_SCALECELL_LIBFILE	Cell graphics for Scale cell

Tip: To preserve default graphics, make a copy of the cell library before modification work begins.

From File menu, select Models.

The Models dialog opens. The models in the cell library are used to build the annotation tool graphics. For example, in the annotation.cel cell library, the Place Elevation Callout graphic is composed of the ElevationMainCallout model and the ElevationWing model.

The following table lists annotation tools, cell library files where the graphics are stored, associated graphic cells, and associated tag sets.

Annotation Tool	Cell Library File	Cell Library Models Used in the Annotation Graphic	Tag Set Attached to the Model
Place North Arrow	Annotation.cel	NorthArrow	None
Place Section Callout	Annotation.cel	WallSectionCallout; WallWing; WallTail	AnnotationSectionCallout
Place Detail Section Callout	Annotation.cel	DetailSectionCallout; DetailTail	AnnotationSectionCallout
Place Elevation Callout	Annotation.cel	ElevationMainCallout; ElevationWing	AnnotationElevationCallout
Place Drawing Title	Annotation.cel	DrawingTitle	AnnotationDrawingTitle
Place Room Label	Annotation.cel	RoomLabel	AnnotationRoomLabel
Place Coded Note (main callout)	CodedNoteMainCallout.cel	Hexagon; Circle; Ellipse; Diamond; Square	CodedNote
Place Coded Note (terminator)	CodedNoteTerminator.cel	OpenCircle; ClosedSquare; ClosedArrow; OpenArrow; OpenSquare; ClosedCircle	None

Double click the model to modify it.

The model becomes the active model.

Modify the graphic.

Note: Text elements in the graphics are defined as tags. Use the Edit Tags tool to modify the text/tag definition.

Close the cell library file.

Note: When using the annotation tool, modified graphics display in the DGN file.
