Balloon and Attribute Newbie Help

Balloon and Attribute Newbie Help

Balloon and Attribute Newbie Help

(OP)
1.  I'm coming from Mechanical Desktop and am new to UG.  I managed to create a parts list and used autoballoon to number my parts.  I can not move the leader attachment point.  The autoballoon is done on an isometric view and is causing leaders to pass through multiple parts.  

2.  I have created an assembly file from 20 customer supplied parts.  All the individual parts have assigned attributes.  Is there a way to access the individual part attributes in order to manually create ID Symbols.  I don't know if this is even possible.  When I tried to attach part attribute info through the annotation editor, the attribute info was not available.

Thanks,
Joe

GO TO
INSERT
SYMBOL
ID SYMBOL
to attach leaders to specific areas of parts. Leave text field blank.
then update parts list. Numbers/letters are generated automatically inside the symbol.

Thanks!  That's a little different from other CAD systems.

Now on to the Attribute issues. Kind of a learn as I go thing.

RE: Balloon and Attribute Newbie Help

When your in the annotation editor click the OBJECT ATTRIBUTE BUTTON, then select the actual part in your assembly navigator, a dialog box will pop up with the attributes you can insert for that part.
