Reference ballooning

I have a multi-page drawing, which requires multiple balloons of the same part in different views. I can insert additional balloons using the "Add Reference Balloons" command under the Table Menu -> BOM Balloons. These balloons have a different size text than regular balloons. Anyone know if there is a config.pro setting to change the text size? Clikcing on a balloon's properties only allows me to change the size of the entire balloon.


Thanks

Jeremy,


We select the reference balloons and then right click Edit Text, then select the text from a "real" BOM balloon. Never found a config setting for the default text, but there must be something in there somewhere.


Alternatively, we use manual balloon entry on the multiple sheets, remembering to put a space before and after the manual text entry to get the text and balloon size the same as the "real" BOM Balloons.


Cheers
