Macro to Add Callouts in a drawing view

[vikt]

Hi Friends,
I need a help for a macro.

This is my product structure

Product1
Cylinder
Block

Now i have drawing where i have taken a front view.
I need a macro that will add two callouts or leader with text.
Important thing is, text should be part number i.e. Cylinder and Block.
That too with proper leader("Cylinder" text should be linked to Cylinder part and "Block" text should be linked to Block).

Hope it is clear.Let me know if you need more details.
Any help or suggestion will be appreciated.

Regards,
Vikt

What do you mean with linked? So that it will stay linked with the front view when you reposition the view?
So not as a regular baloon connected to a BOM?

Hi,
There is an option in drawing call 3d associativity.
So whenever u create a callout, it will retrieve the name from product.

For e.g.
here i am trying to create a balloon callout, the moment i select any 2d generated line of any part in drawing, say "Cylinder", it will show text "Cylinder" inside the balloon.

This callout will be linked to view ofcourse.

Why don't you use a simple text with leader (and type the text, of course)? And you can put what kind of frame you want, I imagine a balloon will be a little bit bigger if you have a long word...drafting is not so "friendly" workbench when you do macros...

1. Do the "Automatic numbering" from the Assembly Workbench
2. Go to Tools/Options/Drawings/Annotation & Dress up/Balloon creation and change "numbering" to "Part number"
3. Go to the drawing document and use the automatic "Balloon Generation"
4. Remove the balloons you don't want to see

Is that what you want?
