Can you have 2 items in a balloon? i,e, quantity & file name
Starting with SolidWorks 2011 or 12, you can add quantity to your balloons on the outside, per common industry practice and examples provided in the ASME standards. This can be added to any balloon. In SolidWorks 2o14, you are given more control over the position of the quantity. Fine name can be placed in balloons as well.
Matthew,
I was in a bit of a rush, I should have remembered that. I just realized that quantity is also an option for inside balloon text. And, although this probably won't concern Rich, I also just noticed that the option to place the quantity outside the balloon is only an option in drawings, not if the BOM and balloons are in the assembly, or maybe I've overlooked something.
you can have 2 balloons or even 15 next to each other using this feature
Rich,
Balloon settings as below should get what you're looking for.
Unfortunately there only appears to be an option for circular balloons with a split line. You can see it gets a little over sized, but that would depend on your file name.
