Sequentially Reordering Balloons Created with the Balloon Annotation

To sequentially reorder balloons that were created with the balloon annotation:

  1. In a drawing view that contains balloons created with balloon, click Insert > Annotations > Auto Balloon . This example contains 4 balloons with Item Numbers and 2 balloons with Part Number (BOM).

  2. In the Auto Balloon PropertyManager, in Edit Balloons:
    • Select Replace balloons to delete all balloons that have Item Number as their balloon text and insert the balloons as specified by the Auto Balloon PropertyManager.
    • Select Resequence existing balloons to modify the ordering of the existing balloons.
  3. If you select Replace balloons, you can specify any of the auto balloon parameters. In this example, in Balloon Settings, Style is Square and Balloon text is Quantity. Balloons with Item Number are removed, balloons with other Balloon text remain, and all auto balloons are inserted.

  4. If you select Resequence existing balloons, you can only modify the parameters in Item Numbers, including Start at and Increment, and you can specify to Follow assembly order or Order sequentially. In this example, Start at is 1 and Increment is 1.
