Good question - I'm guessing you will have to do some kind of work-around: Go to the view where your hand drawn detail is taken from - i.e. a wall/floor section perhaps. Grab the call out tool, and draw around the area that nominally represents your hand drawing Rename the callout to match your hand drawing / or just so you can remember it is not a detail to be used on a sheet - i.e. "Wall Floor detail section - Refer Hand detail" - something like that. To get the correct info to show up inside the callout annotation, the only way is to create a sheet and drag the callout view you just created onto it. (This is the magic of parametric software after all!) Match your sheet name and number to what is on your hand drawn sheet. Then never print that sheet - but the callout will show up correctly on your other view/s and sheet/s. You can always scan your hand drawn detail, (or a really really rough way is to take a digital pic if you have no scanner and import that image - assuming scaling is not important) save it as a JPEG and place it on the newly created sheet also - at least then the project is kept nice and tidy with matching titleblocks, etc. The only other way to do it is to open the callout tag in the family editor and create a new one/edit the existing one so you can just fill in the details you want directly into the tag. When you open the annotation, you get options to set parameters for the 'labels' contained in the tag - or just delete them and write in regular text - just be sure the resave the tag with a new name. Load the new tag intoyour project and away you go. I think they might be your only choices.
