The callouts are placed relative to outside edges or corners of the step image:
Corners:
TOP_LEFT
TOP_RIGHT
BOTTOM_LEFT
BOTTOM_RIGHT
Edges plus justification to the perpendicular edges
TOP (LEFT, CENTER or RIGHT)
BOTTOM (LEFT, CENTER or RIGHT)
RIGHT (TOP, CENTER, BOTTOM)
LEFT (TOP, CENTER, BOTTOM)
This gives you a total of 16 locations, plus you can offset from there by
providing an x and y offset (in pixels).
TOP_LEFT | TOP/LEFT TOP/CENTER TOP/RIGHT | TOP_RIGHT
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
LEFT/TOP | | RIGHT/TOP
LEFT/CENTER | | RIGHT/CENTER
LEFT/BOTTOM | | RIGHT/BOTTOM
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOTTOM_LEFT | BOTTOM/LEFT BOTTOM/CENTER BOTTOM/RIGHT | BOTTOM_RIGHT
You also can place the Part List Image relative to the step image using the
same mechanism.
Finally you can place the step number relative to either the PLI or the step
image using the above mechanism.
The pointers from callouts into the step image are described relative to the
side of the callout closest to the step image, and pixel offsets into the step
image.

There are always possibilities :^)
