Auto Balloon Improvements

Auto balloon improvements provide better arrow and balloon placement requiring less editing afterward.

Improvements in auto balloon placement include:

  • For multiple instances of the same part, balloons point to the closest instance.
  • When Edges is selected in Balloon Layouts of the Auto Balloon PropertyManager:
    • Arrows no longer point to vertices.
    • Arrows no longer point to far side edges of a model unless there is no other solution.
  • When Faces is selected in Balloon Layouts of the Auto Balloon PropertyManager:
    • Attachment points no longer appear on the most foreshortened surfaces.
    • Attachment points no longer appear near model edges, if possible.
    • Attachment points no longer appear on portions of a surface that are hidden by geometry, if possible.
