Callout editing mode

 
Use this dialog to configure settings for the callouts in your screenshot annotation template. You can change the shape and color of the objects and connectors used in the callout. You can also edit the text used for the specific callout object.
 
To display this window, go to Screenshot annotating, click the annotation template you'd like to edit and click the Callout mode.
 
The connection of two points of objects is oriented: the result of the middle right point of the blue square in the picture below and the middle left point of the area with the name of the control depends on which object will be dragged to which. Dr.Explain performs position calculations, assuming that the dependent object is the one that was attached (in particular, to get a standard template from the program, you need to attach a rectangle with the control name to a square with the control number, but not vice versa).
