BOM Balloon Config File?

[shade008]

Hello!

Does anyone know of a configuration file which can control the default appearance of BOM balloons within a drawing? Are there options in config.pro which can govern this?

For example, if I have an assembly of 30 parts, and I require all of the attachment nodes to be filled dots instead of the default arrow, is there a configuration mechanism to control this?

Any advice on this matter would be appreciated. Thank you for your time!

Configuration/setup information for drawings can be set up in the "DrawingOptions" detail file.


Under File > Properties > Drawing Options


A file similar to the config.pro file is generated for the "Active Drawing" but can be modified and saved for future use.


you can set up the default BOM balloon edge attachment with:


def_bom_balloons_edge_att_sym


select the filled_dot


Be sure to save the file to use later: you will have a filename.dtl file (filename is the title you applied, I use "drawing"to help me remember what it is).


If you want to use this file all of the time, you need to add a line to your config.pro file:


drawing_setup_file


then select the *.dtl file you have created.


I hope that helps.
