How do you organize stacked bubbles?

Hello

I'm working on SW2015 and I'd like to know if there's a way to rearrange stacked bubbles.

Let me explain a little bit about the context. I use SW's stacked bubbles quite regularly, especially to indicate screws and others. The problem is that as perfect as I am (^^), I rarely manage to find the ref order in my nomenclature when I click on my different components (see PC). So it forces me to skip the article number of the balloon to note it manually.

That's when I thought, but isn't there a way to manually rearrange a stacked bubble sequence? (hey, there's some in the noggin) ... But nothing, only pouik, nada. And yet I searched on more than 10 gogol pages (that's how determined I was lol).

That is why I am asking you the question. Is it possible to rearrange a stacked bubble sequence? And if so, how?

Thank you in advance for any answers.

Hello

See this link for SW's help, it must meet the need.

Thank you for the quick answer Cyril, it wasn't what I was looking for but thank you anyway:D

On the other hand, I have found a compromise in the meantime that is not too disgusting: I select my components for the first time (in order or not) to have the right number of bubbles. Then I use the "reattach" option on one of the bubbles that is in the wrong order to select the part that should be the next one normally.

There you have it

Keeping the principle (which works well) i.e.:

The order comes from ASM

The nomenclature follows the order of the ASM (follow option...)

 

again the "famous right click" on a bubble, then Sort

"May the dark side be with you... "

Interesting, from which version do we find this function?

I don't have this "sort" option in the bubble menu. Are you using a newer version of mine?

I think it's been a while, I can't find his page in the help,

I'm in SW2016,

when you right-click, you may have to "show all the possible choices" (i.e. turn the menu with the "double down arrow" at the bottom of the menu)

I have direct access to it, without expanding the menu.

(... ah the famous right click... What a powerful tool... lol )

Indeed, it is from 2016:

Oh well, they made another evolution that I didn't know about from 2016:

Hello

Just click on the nomenclature itself, you have columns and rows that appear on the left and at the top.

You click on the 3 little arrows and it's up to you.

I hope I have answered your question.

Right@gt22

but this is against the principle of "the MEP follows the order of the ASM" (whether it is used or not..)

Changing the "Balloon Numbers" is also possible, directly in the panel on the left, by selecting a balloon, under the "Article Number" box

We have a drop-down menu with the numbers, you just have to choose.
