You can create balloons in a drawing document or in a note. The balloons label the parts in the assembly and relate them to item numbers on the bill of materials (BOM).
Contents
Use balloons to label components with their item numbers from the bill of materials and to reference notes in the drawing.
Stacked balloons combine multiple balloons on a single leader. The balloons are stacked each time you select a component. You can stack the balloons vertically or horizontally. You can insert stacked balloons in drawings of assemblies and in assembly documents.
You can reattach any balloon (including dangling balloons within a stack) to associate it with any component within the same drawing view.
You can use auto balloons to automatically generate balloons in a drawing view.
Magnetic lines are a convenient way to align balloons along a line at any angle.
