I agree that it does, but I think it is a bit too circuitous. I suppose this
is too difficult to implement in LPub
For now then making a submodel for each callout with only one part and no
step in it, doing it like this makes me (once again) happy :-) Forget I
asked.

Because in step 8 and 11 you see 2 parts floating, but when placed in the
model, they are fixed.

The LDraw code for step 8 would be something like this,
0 FILE sub8.ldr
1 6 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 -1 0 0 3023.DAT
1 0 0 -40 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 -1 0 0 3794.DAT
0 MLCAD ARROW 4 0 -16 10 0 0 1 -1 0 0 0 -1 0 6 2 12 20 0 30 1 2 16 16
0 MLCAD SKIP_BEGIN
3 4 0 -4 10 0 -16 13 0 -16 7
4 4 0 -16 11 0 -36 11 0 -36 9 0 -16 9
0 MLCAD SKIP_END
0 MLCAD ARROW 4 0 -16 -10 0 0 1 -1 0 0 0 -1 0 6 2 12 20 0 30 1 2 16 16
0 MLCAD SKIP_BEGIN
3 4 0 -4 -10 0 -16 -7 0 -16 -13
4 4 0 -16 -9 0 -36 -9 0 -36 -11 0 -16 -11
0 MLCAD SKIP_END
0
You can place this in the model, but then the plates will still be floating.
What I'd do now is this:
0 FILE sub8.ldr
1 6 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 -1 0 0 3023.DAT
0 BUFEXCHG A STORE
0 GHOST 1 0 0 -40 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 -1 0 0 3794.DAT
0 GHOST 0 MLCAD ARROW 4 0 -16 10 0 0 1 -1 0 0 0 -1 0 6 2 12 20 0 30 1 2
16 16
0 MLCAD SKIP_BEGIN
3 4 0 -4 10 0 -16 13 0 -16 7
4 4 0 -16 11 0 -36 11 0 -36 9 0 -16 9
0 MLCAD SKIP_END
0 GHOST 0 MLCAD ARROW 4 0 -16 -10 0 0 1 -1 0 0 0 -1 0 6 2 12 20 0 30 1 2
16 16
0 MLCAD SKIP_BEGIN
3 4 0 -4 -10 0 -16 -7 0 -16 -13
4 4 0 -16 -9 0 -36 -9 0 -36 -11 0 -16 -11
0 MLCAD SKIP_END
0 STEP
0 BUFEXCHG A RETRIEVE
0 LPUB PLI BEGIN IGN
1 0 0 -8 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 -1 0 0 3794.DAT
0 LPUB PLI END
0
And use that in the model like this:
0 LPUB CALLOUT BEGIN
0 LPUB CALLOUT PLACEMENT TOP CENTER ASSEM
0 LPUB CALLOUT POINTER BOTTOM 0.5 0.5 0.5
1 9 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 -1 0 0 sub8.ldr
0 LPUB CALLOUT END
But this will produce a callout with 2 steps, like step 10 in the example
image. I do not want that.
My hypothetical LPub meta command to achieve step 8 should be something like
this:
0 FILE sub8.ldr
1 6 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 -1 0 0 3023.DAT
0 BUFEXCHG A STORE
0 GHOST 1 0 0 -40 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 -1 0 0 3794.DAT
0 GHOST 0 MLCAD ARROW 4 0 -16 10 0 0 1 -1 0 0 0 -1 0 6 2 12 20 0 30 1 2
16 16
0 MLCAD SKIP_BEGIN
3 4 0 -4 10 0 -16 13 0 -16 7
4 4 0 -16 11 0 -36 11 0 -36 9 0 -16 9
0 MLCAD SKIP_END
0 GHOST 0 MLCAD ARROW 4 0 -16 -10 0 0 1 -1 0 0 0 -1 0 6 2 12 20 0 30 1 2
16 16
0 MLCAD SKIP_BEGIN
3 4 0 -4 -10 0 -16 -7 0 -16 -13
4 4 0 -16 -9 0 -36 -9 0 -36 -11 0 -16 -11
0 MLCAD SKIP_END
0 LPUB SUBMODEL_STEP BEGIN IGN
0 STEP
0 BUFEXCHG A RETRIEVE
0 LPUB PLI BEGIN IGN
1 0 0 -8 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 -1 0 0 3794.DAT
0 LPUB PLI END
0 LPUB SUBMODEL_STEP END
0
By placing LPUB SUBMODEL_STEP BEGIN IGN prior to the 0 STEP command in a
submodel, this will be ignored until the next LPUB SUBMODEL_STEP END meta
command.
