How to line up balloons on a isometric view

How to line up balloons on a isometric view

(OP)
Can anyone help, if you have an exploded isometric view in an assembly drawing, is there a way to line up all the balloons on the same angle as the view

Thanks

Neil

Try selecting all of the balloons by holding down your ctrl key and then right clicking on one of them ans slecting "alignment" you will find quite a few options.  I am certain that one of them will do what you want.

hope that helps

When I went for training courses they told me that right click is a short cut for many commands.  I think the instructor said "when in doubt, right click"

Being an instructor... I can vouch for that!!!!!!

THanks for you help, but let me be a bit clearer, an isometric view is at 30º (well most of it). What I want do do is line up these balloons at 30º as well. Is there a way to do this. I know about the align buttons like horizontal and vertical align.

Tug ... I've never seen a way of being able to do this in SW.  What I've done and something you can try is use a reference line and then using a point on the ballon place your text consitently along that line.  When your finished, just delete the line.

It may be time consuming, but when you want to have a professional look to your drawings, that usually takes a little bit of time.

But that's just my opinion.
