Parts List and ID Symbols
Parts List and ID Symbols
(OP)
thread561-299247: Balloon help
Please reference the afore mentioned thread. Is it necessary to to select an edge with an ID symbol, or is selecting a surface a viable option, and have the ID symbol update when the parts list is updated? Someone told me that i should be able to select a surface of a component to attach the ID symbol and it should update when the parts list is updated. In our system this does not work, an edge needs to be selected. Is there an option in Customer Defaults or UGII that I am missing?

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Does this work with the autoballoon command, too?
When you use the autoballoon to create the ID symbols first and you change one ID's location to one other part's face then the ID symbol can't update with the Update Part list command. Is my right?

I also think the "setting" i am missing has to do with us having to add sketches to a dwg reference set, so we can dimension sketches on the drawing. Most of the time we can select edges, but occassionally we need the sketches put on a dwg ref set.
