Macro to Add Callouts in a drawing view
Macro to Add Callouts in a drawing view
(OP)
Hi Friends,
I need a help for a macro.
This is my product structure
Product1
Cylinder
Block
Now i have drawing where i have taken a front view.
I need a macro that will add two callouts or leader with text.
Important thing is, text should be part number i.e. Cylinder and Block.
That too with proper leader("Cylinder" text should be linked to Cylinder part and "Block" text should be linked to Block).
Hope it is clear.Let me know if you need more details.
Any help or suggestion will be appreciated.
Regards,
Vikt

What do you mean with linked? So that it will stay linked with the front view when you reposition the view?
So not as a regular baloon connected to a BOM?

There is an option in drawing call 3d associativity.
So whenever u create a callout, it will retrieve the name from product.
For e.g.
here i am trying to create a balloon callout, the moment i select any 2d generated line of any part in drawing, say "Cylinder", it will show text "Cylinder" inside the balloon.
This callout will be linked to view ofcourse.

2. Go to Tools/Options/Drawings/Annotation & Dress up/Balloon creation and change "numbering" to "Part number"
3. Go to the drawing document and use the automatic "Balloon Generation"
4. Remove the balloons you don't want to see
Is that what you want?
