We now use a method to attach notes to certain components on drawings. The values of these notes are linked to an already existing personal property on the components (Part/Assembly). Today I use the " Bubble" command, then I have to load an existing style (always the same) by selecting it via the explorer, and clicking on the chosen component in the drawing.
1st problem: when the style is not loaded, at the 1st insertion of this bubble, you have to do a lot of manipulation for a single note.
2nd problem: when I clicked on the component to create the note, I have to position this note. At this point the command remains active, but the problem is that it doesn't remember the style. I need to cancel the command, then reselect the bubble command, select the style now present in the drop-down list, and clicked on my component, etc
I don't find it very simple to use.
I would like to have a special button for this type of note, pre-configured, and to be able to apply this note to several components successively.
In general, you just have to redo the layout and background plan templates with the requested bubble style so that you don't have to set it up each time. Document templates are in the location shown in the tool option file location and document templates and also basemaps.
You open each format, change your balloon style, and overwrite it (after a backup backup) In addition, it is also possible to create favorites of a bubble style
Hello, just create a note with the properties you need + wrap + arrow if needed. Save it as an annotation that will fetch the value of the part property of the selected drawing. This annotation will have the extension .sldnotestl. Example: annotation that fetches the name of the file, but all the properties are available. Any type of annotation of this kind can be created
Le_Bidule, Indeed it looks like what I already have, except that my template file has a .sldballoonestl extension.
My problem as I described it is that I have to reload the style every time by going to get my model file hard the explorer on the one hand. And then I had to reselect my style from the drop-down list for each balloon that I want to add.
Hello; Why not save your .sldballoonestl directly in your document templates *... DRWDOT? You could find it directly in the drop-down menu, for any new drawings. … And to avoid having to "
re select my style from the drop-down list for each balloon I want to add."
Copy/paste an existing bubble and only move its attachment...
Maclane, I understand your approach, but will it be possible not to go through the slightest drop-down menu, but just to be able to directly position my annotation, like a bubble, or a dimension, and to be able to do it simultaneously several times?
The examples you attached to your answer are interesting. The first seems to automatically add bubbles to a MEP with an associated BOM. That's not what I'm looking for.
On the other hand, the 2nd example is very interesting, now I have to find a way to set it up to my liking!!
