Balloon sequence control on views of SW drawing documents
Balloon sequence control on views of SW drawing documents
(OP)
I searched this topic and did not find any discussion.
On a drawing view, it is a general practice that balloons are placed in sequece (cw or ccw). I know that I can shuffle around "BOM" items through "BOM Contents" using "Row Up" or "Row down". Another way is shuffle component orders in the assembly. But both methods are not practical for a large assembly. Is there a better way? How do you guy handle balloon sequence control?
Thanks,
Alex

I do not know of a way to sort by assembly position, other than ordering the files in the ass'y feature tree to what you want and haveing the BOM follow assembly order.

I just notice that you can force a balloon to have a different item number by changing Balloon Text's Item number.
Thanks for your comments.
