Convert Text Box to Callout

[gmm18]

I used to use text boxes with separate polylines for leaders. 

 

But now I use Callouts for this purpose. It would be really nice to be able to "Convert text box to Callout." 

It is no big deal to copy the text, then create a new Callout and edit the text, EXCEPT when you need to do this hundreds of times when updating older details.

A while ago @Pat Stanford and I came up with a script for doing this.  I'll attach it here.

 

Your signature says you are using 2016.  If that's still true let me know and I'll either post the raw script or export back.

Thank you, I am on current version.

 

This script works great!

 

In this case I would say the script is enough, VWX can skip adding this as a built-in feature and focus on other things.
