Can you control the size of the circled numbers?

Hi Everyone,

Do any of you know if it is possible to control the flag size of a circled number or letter in Solidworks drawings? I tried to look for something in document settings but found nothing. I need to change the size of the flag so that my second line of text does not run through the circle. Anyone have a good idea for a work around? If so I would be very interested in hearing it.

Thanks,

Jon

RE: Can you control the size of the circled numbers?

You can set the flag size for "tight fit" or for a certain number of characters.  If you need more space when using tight fit, perhaps add some leading or trailing spaces or extra lines to your text.

TheTick,

I know that "tight fit" controls the balloon size does it also control the size of the symbol characters? What I am trying to do is type a note that generically says " Item 1 goes into Item 2" with the 1 and 2 circled. Which I use the symbol of the circled 1 & 2. You can also type <C#-1> and <C#-2> as you type in the note dialog box to get the same thing. I would like to know if it is possible to control the size of those special symbols I have just discussed. Any additional help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jon
