Design Master uses two different blocks for the light fixture callout. The LF Callout (Long Lamp Label) block is used when the lamp label is wider than the value specified in LF Callout Short Label Width, while the LF Callout (Short Lamp Label) block is used the lamp label is smaller than the value specified in LF Callout Short Label Width.

The user may browse the drawings created in the Design Master Software\Electrical Customization folder to select which callout block should be used in each case.  Go to whichever LF Callout (Lamp Label) line you wish to edit. Under the Value column, use the pulldown menu (see below picture) to select Browse. You will be taken to the Electrical Customization folder and asked to select a drawing. Once you have selected a drawing and pressed Open, you will be returned to the Design Master Electrical Options dialog box.

In addition, the user may edit the cutoff width. To do this, go to the LF Callout Short Label Width line. Under the Value column, double click on the number (see below picture). You will now be able to type in a new number.

When you have finished, press OK. Design Master will insert light fixture callouts using the newly designated blocks from this point on. However, existing light fixture callouts will not be automatically set to the new blocks.
