Auto-bubble configuration by default

2D plans Annotation
1

Hello

I am faced with a problem that is probably simple to solve. But I can't understand the help of solidworks (either in English or in French) for this.

I use a number of custom properties (properties defined in 3D). These are well-defined and work without worries if I call them in a drawing. They also work when I call them via automatic bubble.

What I would like is that by default when I click on auto bubble, the function is directly configured with a custom property (always the same) and a predefined style (I pretty much understood the help, I think I could get out of it by creating a new style in the library).

I'd like to know how to set this up. But above all, how to set it by default (we have some elements that are resistant to Smart Properties, we try to make it as easy as possible for them). The final manipulation should be (ideally): click on automatic bubble, validate, check that there are no errors on the plan.

 

If someone can help me decipher the help (or if they know the procedure to follow), I thank them in advance

Hello

The solution of consternation that we have found is to put a first bubble, assign the custom property and the style we want, and then copy it with CTRL + C and CTRL V, or copy it with a CTRL click + mouse movement.

 

Edit: otherwise a solution

Set the balloon style here Tools> Options> Document Properties> Annotations> Balloons and save to template.

And for the default text, see here in the "text" box:

Thanks, it seems to work

 

EDIT: I spoke too fast again. This solution only works for the selected document (it doesn't set by default). But it's already a big step, I'll try to manage the rest

 

EDIT²: I found, just modify the document options as you indicated but for the file layout.drwdot which is in the Solidworks template file. That way, every new drawing will have the custom auto bubble by default.
