Balloon size?

Balloon size?

Balloon size?

(OP)
Is there a way to set the balloon (Circle) size?  I want the balloon size to be consistant for item numbers with 1 digit or 2 digits.

RE: Balloon size?

Drafting Standards.  Look to the FAQS and search the forum for "Admin Mode" and "Drafting Standards"

RE: Balloon size?

(OP)
I didn't see any setting within Standards that spoke to this setting and the only FAQ was in reference to V4.

RE: Balloon size?

In the Drafting Standards, under Frames, look at the Circle.  This is set in mm.  Unfortunately, there is only one fixed diameter frame available.

You will need to re-apply the standard when you are finished.

Here's the FAQ on editing the Drafting Standards.

You stated there is only on fixed diameter frame available. I understand that I have been able to get this to work. This size is to big for my needs how do I change the diameter size of this fixed frame?

Thanks in advance.

RE: Balloon size?

This can only be changed by editing your Drafting Standards.  After editing them, remember to Update them in your existing files.

RE: Balloon size?

(OP)
Maybe its just me, but changing the circle values under frames does not affect any of my balloon sizes.  I changed type, behavior, radius, etc and nothing about my generated balloons changes when I do a page update.

Are you sure this is suppose to change the appearance/size of generated balloons in drawings?
