Dashed lines: There's a dashed line plugin available from Smustard.com but I don't really have any problem drawing dashed lines in LayOut. If there are a lot of them for a given viewport, I will make a scene with those lines displayed and explode that viewport in LO. I like that option when I expect the model to be modified and will have to modify those lines. These methods work alright for my use. Call outs: You could make a scrapbook with the callouts you need. Or you could make a group of the leader and the text box before you copy it. Callouts can point either way and it's easy enough to add an additional leader if you want more than one. BTW, please complete your profile. It'll be helpful.
