Orthographic Balloons
Orthographic Balloons
(OP)
I did a search but was unsuccessful. I found one thread that addressed my exact question, but the answer was not what I needed, and that thread is closed so I opened this new one.
I very rarely use balloons on a Solidworks drawing. However, when I do, I need the leader line to be orthographic, either vertical or horizontal. However, I cannot find any property of the balloon I can choose or any way to constrain the balloon and its leader line to be either vertical or horizontal.
The text is properly constrained to horizontal, but I need control over the leader line as well.
I have tried things like holding down the CTRL, ALT or SHIFT key while attempting to place the balloon, no luck.
Looking forward to a response from someone who knows how to do this in Solidworks.

RE: Orthographic Balloons
It's not common practice to make them that way because the leaders would blend with the detail of the drawing.
