Split balloon with attributes and callout

Split balloon with attributes and callout

(OP)
Hi

I'm using NX6. In drafting I'm trying to use ID symbol which is a divided circle. How can set top half as call out (system generated in part list) and bottom half as an attribute?

Thanks

RE: Split balloon with attributes and callout

You can do the Attribute assignment with NX 6.0, but you can't associate the automatic Parts List 'Callout' letter/number until NX 8.0.

RE: Split balloon with attributes and callout

You cannot have the item number automatically put in, but you can do it manually.
You will have to create it in the annotation editor, and cut it from there and paste it into the ID symbol.
Here is a thread that eplains that: http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=218438

thanks! but in my case association with the part list is the key. otherwise every time the part list gets updated the manual text will be wiped off.

RE: Split balloon with attributes and callout

Well, you could always start lobbying to get upgraded to NX 8.0...

RE: Split balloon with attributes and callout

When your parts list gets updated the manual item number attribute that I explain will update too.
It will not be wiped off.
Give it a try on a small assembly.
