How do I change the index formatting in a drawing?

Hello

Is it possible to change the format of the cue bubble in a drawing (Solidworks 2016, SP 3.0): for example, put the balloon on a black background and the cue written in white? I couldn't find this in the "Revision Symbol" menu. I'm looking for a way to emphasize the hint bubbles more in very dense planes. Thank you in advance, very cordially,

Hello

To make your bubble more visible, you can play with the thickness of the strokes by clicking on the bubble, then in the menu you click on other properties and there you have the styles of the attachment line as well as the outline. You uncheck "use the document view and there you can play with the thickness of the lines for better visibility. If you like it, you can change it in tool>option>document property>annotation>balloon and line style...

Hello

To see the available options for changing the format of revision symbols, simply click on an existing symbol, and a menu appears in the property manager at the bottom of this image :

And to see all the possibilities, see here:

But I don't think you'll find what you want, the options are quite limited, and there is no other way to change that.

Hello

Thank you for your answers!

Unfortunately, I didn't solve my problem:

AC Cobra 427: the thickness of the bubble changes only for the "annotation" bubbles and not for the index bubbles, I went through the properties of the document for that because I couldn't find "other properties" in the index menu... (cf. PC)

.PL: indeed I tested it, but I was more interested in bolding/thickening the circle of the bubble or putting it in a white background index in white, but nothing about it obviously exists. Another note: your screenshot shows annotation bubbles, not hints... the latter seem more difficult to edit

Thank you for your responsiveness!

I can indeed bolden the annotation bubbles in this way (see PC), but it has no effect on the index bubbles...
