I am trying to buy a Apple Pencil from some person but when I add the serial number to check the device's coverage session of apple website, it shows "this is a serial number for a product that has been replaced." What does that mean? I was looking at other people post with same issue but the response was "that likely means they were reported as defective and Apple replaced them but they were not returned to Apple as required" so does that mean it was stolen or the product was damaged or its not real?

It means that this person, had in their possession, an Apple device that was turned in for replacement. These types of devices are not meant to be sold to the public. They are supposedly defective. My suggestion is that you don't buy it.

A product vendor has provided me a jpeg with all of the details drawn, labeled and numbered. I'm trying to create callouts to reference each of these details but can't figure out how to do it. I created a drafting view with the detail jpeg inserted, created a callout referencing that view, then tried to change the number from, say 1/A105 to 2/A105 but can't figure out how to do it. The only way I have come up with is to cut out each of the details in Photoshop and save them individually then create drafting view of them, but there are 38 details! Surely there has to be a way to reference the one drafting view and change the callout number.

His wasn't a solution. It was an explanation of why Revit won't do what I want it to do. It seems strange to me that as often as a full sheet of details is provided by vendors who still hold onto old Cad drawings saved as jpeg or PDF files, that Revit won't allow me to use them but must cut the sheet up into individual details, create drafting views of all of them, then reassemble them in Revit to look just like they did in the first place. Maybe this won't be an issue when everyone uses Revit, but in the interim, Photoshop will again save the day.

There is a reason Revit works the way it does. Having separate views for each drawing, with each view having an assigned number and pulling the sheet number allows for all of that information to be automatically updated if its changed anywhere.

And why is your vendor giving you jpegs? That seems insane to me. They don't have DWGs or some other format that would allow you create vector based drawings? If not, it sure seems like you should recreate their drawings anyway.

More accusatory than helpful. A lot of "why this" and "why that." Do you think I haven't considered everything you mention? Obviously you've never dealt with little ma and pop shops from 2nd and 3rd world countries that can't afford Revit or AnyOtherCad but supply an essential product at a good price that fills a niche that makes them invaluable. I was just hoping that Revit had taken this into consideration and would allow me to manually populate the callout reference, a very simple thing to implement IMHO. Oh, and one last thing, I use Revit because our 300+ employees and consultants use it to build over a million square feet a year.

If you know that is going to be part of your workflow, then you should expect to have to redraw what they give you. Especially if you are in that large of a firm. I would never put jpegs into our drawings and we only have five employees.

And again, you CAN make manual callouts if that's what you really want. We have some that we use in rare circumstances, but it is not a part of the typical workflow and is usually a last resort, but you're not in last resort mode. There is a better way to do what you're doing.

Or, I can request that Revit do it once so I and others don't have to spend hours redrawing details that have already been created, and do it over and over in different countries where building techniques and available resources are unique, and reusing details that are sometimes hand drawn in a foreign language, something that can't always be done. But then, coming from a five person firm, you've probably not had to work on projects in Mongolia, Republic of the Congo, Papua New Guinea, Kiribati, Vanuatu, Zimbabwe, Pago Pago, or Sierra Leone, or dozens of other locations. If you have, then I apologize.

No, we don't. But I do work with old scanned drawings all of the time, which is essentially the same thing. I don't just make a copy and put it in the model. I redraw them to match our standards. I'm not telling you to do something that I wouldn't do.

And, once more, I don't know what you're expecting Revit to do for you. I am telling you that you can make a callout symbol that allows you to manually put in a detail and sheet number. It would not take hours to create. It might take time to actually place and number all of them, but that's what you're asking to do.

Been using autocad for 28 years and revit for about 10. Revit is a loooonnngggg long way from being as productive as autocad given that it is very much less forgiving than autocad. The automation limits production as we spend too much time creating workarounds when we shouldn't have to. This simple feature in this thread should be built into the symbol library. Not everything can and should be linked to automation and there are alot of examples why call-outs should have a simple "non-linked" insertion capability. Revit is finicky, unforgiving and at least 5-10 years from where it should be. Sooner or later there will be a product from a rival that will have more robust object based technology with simple commands and far fewer bugs not to mention simpler to use! Autodesk needs to fix these silly expensive bugs that cost our industry alot of lost time and therefor money because we sell time not the drawings!!

"I am telling you that you can make a callout symbol that allows you to manually put in a detail and sheet number. It would not take hours to create. It might take time to actually place and number all of them, but that's what you're asking to do."

Now that's a useful reply! Thank you. I would like to know how you do this because that's exactly what we need to do: Have a dummy callout option that will link to a sheet but that will allow me to change the detail number.

You need to make a generic annotation family and create two parameters you can associate with two Labels. Then sketch what you want the view reference symbol to look like, place two labels and associate them with your parameters.

Thank you Steve. I can easily create a generic annotation family where I can manually change the labels but I can't figure out how to have it reference a specific view nor how to change the detail number once placed. I'm still waiting for mhiserZFHXS to provide the video tutorials he mentioned but doubt he will. But no problem. While waiting, I cut the jpeg into separate images, made individual drafting views and all is good.

Now, if anyone from Autodesk is reading this, please consider allowing me to override the detail numbers of a callout so I can reference different details that are shown on a single image. It could still internally reference 1/A101, but giving me the option to alter the appearance of the callout would really come in handy, similar to how you can replace dimension numbers with text.

Autodesk should not add the ability to override a detail number for views as that would cause a lot of issues having people accidentally overriding and then callouts not being updated if something changes.

Your example of overriding dimensions does not track as Autodesk specifically does not let you just override the number, you must have text also. There are workarounds to do this but it is not easy which makes it harder to do it accidentally.
