Catia V5 balloon reposition

[marchello_si]

Hello,

I am trying to make simple macro in catia V5 drafting to reposition balloons.
Ballons generated with catia generation command are many times put over each other. So manual reposition is needed. Is there any way to make is automaded by macro?
Recording macro does not record procedure to use as base for macro like it is possible in many other procedures.

Many thanks.
kind regards,
marko

Start with an algorithm.

Repositioning itself is simle as ballons are accessed the same way as DrawingTexts and you only need to change X and Y properties.

hi,

yes, basically at the moment moving balons to position not crossing leaderlins and balloons them selfs would be good enough.

Very doable!

As Little C' said , all balloons are just DrawingText with a frame, you can edit the X/Y properties of the balloon.

However be careful as the X/Y coordinates of the balloons are relative to the view that contains them so any scaling or rotation will have to be accounted for.
