Assembly and Design Table Drawings

The final Bill of Materials table should look something like this:

30.7. -In the next step we need to visually identify the assembly components. The

Auto Balloon command automatically adds an identification balloon to each

component of the assembly. To Start, either make a right-mouse-click in the

assembly drawing view and select "Annotations, Auto Balloon" from the pop-up

menu, or select the assembly view and go to the menu "Insert, Annotations, Auto

Balloon."

When the Auto Balloon's PropertyManager is displayed, select the option

"Follow Assembly Order" to make the balloons and BOM to follow the component

order in the assembly's FeatureManager, in "Balloon Layout" use the "Square"

pattern to locate the balloons around the assembly view, turn on the "Ignore

multiple instances" button to avoid adding balloons to duplicate components, check

the "Insert magnetic lines" to align the balloons using an invisible line that

annotations are attached to when we move them close to it (helpful to align

annotations).

In the "Balloon Settings" section select the "Circular" option to define the

balloon's style, in the balloon's size use the "2 Characters" option, and in the

"Balloon text:" option select "Item Number" to identify the components using the

BOM item numbers.
