My company is transistioning from Autocad to Solidworks and we are working on making Solidworks drawings match our existing drafting standards.

For the most part this has been reasonably straightforward, but I am stuck when it comes to customizing detail titles and callouts. As shown in the attached file, what I want to do is have a split circle on the detail callout, with the detail number in the top half and the sheet number in the bottom half (to keep track of details across sheets). I then want the detail title to have another split circle with the number and sheet, and then the ability to add a descriptive name to each detail.

I've also attached an example of the closest I've managed to get in Solidworks. I haven't found a way to get it to show what sheet the detail is on.

We would also like to be able to do a similar thing with section callouts and views.

I'd appreciate any hints as to whether this is at all possible, and if so, how to go about making the changes.
