Hey folks, I need help with setting ballons. I have an assembly which is composed of a bunch of sub-assembly. When in drawing level I select auto-ballon but it set ballons for all my parts not my sub-assembly. How can I fix this? Below I attached the sheet and the assembly.
2nd of all, make sure that the BOM that you are linked to is a top level BOM and not a parts only BOM.
Thank you, sir. It worked. Taking advantage of this post could you answer me another question about this drawing? I thought would be easiest mating two sub assembly (the platform and stairs) but I would like to take ballons for the other sub-assembly which composed the platform and stairs. See the image:
In my actual drawing, when setting auto ballon just two ballons appears (Stairs and platform) but I would like to setting ballons for the other sub-assembly highlighted in the image above.
Hi Ian,
Create a second configuration of your platform sub assembly and give it a name such as "hidden parts",
.... in properties of platforms config, change Child component display when used as subassembly to Hide
......create a new config on your main assy to use for your drawing give a name as above or whatever you like & change the platform to config "hidden parts" as above.
You should now have platform called out as just one item and should be able to balloon all bits on stairs as induvidual items
First of all, make sure that the drawing view that you are placing your balloons in is linked to your BOM.
