Inserting Balloons

After you insert a BOM, use balloons to help identify individual items in the BOM. Balloons can be inserted manually or automatically. You insert them automatically in this tutorial.

  1. Hold down Ctrl and select the detail view first, and then select the exploded view.
  2. Click Auto Balloon (Annotation tab).
  3. In the PropertyManager, under Balloon Layout, clear Ignore multiple instances. This way, balloons appear in both drawing views.
  4. Click .
    The item numbers in the balloons correspond to those in the BOM. Move the views and balloons around to organize them as you want.
