Nonrectangular callout and detail view
The main purpose of a detail view is to see a specific portion of the model
and then add detail lines, regions, and other annotation objects to provide
additional information about the design. Once a detail view has been
created, you can use the same drafting tools as used in a drafting view to
embellish the model information shown in the view. Filled regions can be
added to show materials that may not be shown on the actual model objects.
