AutoCAD Inventor :: Find Balloon In DWG
May 3, 2013I would like to make use of " find in feature tree" feature, but in DWG mode; Right clicking instead in BOM on part # and showing (highlighting) the balloon in the DWG so you know where it is that you put your balloon.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Balloon Renumbering Across Sheets
Jun 15, 2012I am trying to modify the code Brian Ekins posted on Mod the Machine to renumber balloons across sheets. [uRL ....
It works great unless the item on the additional sheet is a sub-assembly. I believe it is because PartDef is declared as a PartComponentDefinition and there is nothing in the code to handle an assembly.
Dim partDef As PartComponentDefinition
Set partDef = drawBOMRow.BOMRow.ComponentDefinitions.Item(1)
partInfo(I - 1).ReferencedFile = partDef.Document.FullFileName
The Set partDef line was giving me a runtime error when it came to an assembly in the BOM until I added
"On Error Resume Next" at the start of the loop.
I tried changing the declaration to ComponentDefinition. It compiled fine, but didn't do anything. I think I'll have to add some duplicate code to handle an assembly in the BOM. Is there a better way to do this? Am I even on the right track?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Attaching Text To A Balloon?
Feb 5, 2008How do I attach text to a balloon? For example, I want to add the text "2X" alongside the balloon to denote that there are 2 instances of this part.
I can't believe that you need to make a text box each and every time you need to do this! There has to be a simpler way.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Balloon Text Alignment
Oct 18, 2005If a balloon style is set to "Linear" the text in that balloon is automatically left aligned. If a balloon style is set to "None" the text in that balloon is automatically center aligned.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Store Information In A Balloon?
Nov 16, 2012I'm using balloons to get information from parts, then writing that part info to a custom table. I need to keep track of which balloon corresponds to which table row.
Is there some object/property of Balloon where I can store a single number or string? I'm already using the value field, so that's unavailable to me.
Also, one balloon corresponds to one table entry. That means I cannot create a custom iProperty in the part the balloon is attached to since more than one balloon may reference the same part.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Get Balloon To Stay On Tracking Line
Apr 8, 2013I am trying to get the balloons equidistant from each other and on the same horizontal "line", however when I try to place some balloons, I can not select the correct placement.

View 9 Replies View RelatedAutoCad :: Disable / Turn Off Item Balloon Tips
Aug 5, 2012The balloon tip that pops up is just an explanation of what the item is for or what it does when selected. I think I would be pretty safe in guessing that whenever a balloon tip appears there is a help button to go to any particular item. How these things can be disabled or turned off. I did find somewhere, a while ago, a way to edit the registry. But that was when I was using Windows XP.
Now I'm using Windows 7 and the only place these balloons get under my skin is in AutoCad. Which is vanilla AutoCad version 2010. I guess I have to give up trying to insert an image. I have a *.jpg file but no matter what folder I put it in this "insert image" function don't or can't see it for some reason.

Jul 29, 2013In AutoCAD leader settings you can set the number of point so the leader looks standard. I am searching for this in inventor and am coming up empty. I have seen other engineering drawings where I can tell that the generated data in the balloon was entered from the parts column in the B.O.M. But instead of part numbers, I have seen text. and I have mine set up to generate the Balloons that way but I do not like the leader type it is giving me. The attachment is what my leaders are looking like in inventor.

Nov 6, 2013I would like to make a split balloon where the top retrieves the item number and the bottom is a prompted text area. Is this possible?
If the above is not possible my fallback plan would like to make a sketched symbol function in exactly the same way. I believe this option would be significantly more code. If I have to go this route, is there a way to directly mimic getting the item number like the balloon function does?
--My current process involves attaching a user symbol, getting the proper leader node, attached entity, geometry, model geometry, containing occurrence, and then BOM of the component occurrence. Keep in mind this doesn't work for phantom or reference components.
