I found the callout shape but the arrow does not move around the rectangle to allow it to point in any direction. It only points up. Is there another shape that works like the one in PowerPoint which allows the arrow to point in any direction?

Callouts

No problem Abby. Actually on second look I just realized that Lucid has the ability to just grab the pointer (by clicking the point in the center of where the pointer connects to the primary box) and move it anywhere on the periphery of the box. So no need to rotate anything!
Hi Richard
There is a work around for this:
1. Rotate the call out in 90 degree increments (hold down SHIFT during rotation) until the arrow is pointing in the desired direction.
2. With the call out selected go into the text properties dropdown and click 'rotate' until the text in the call out is properly oriented.

Thanks for providing that workaround-- it's a great idea and I'll have to give that a try!

Hi Braden! Thank you very much for this explanation about grabbing the pointer. It is super helpful!

You can find the callout shape by going to the shapes panel in Lucidchart and searching ‘callout’.
