BOM Balloon in a note

[dailey]

Is it possible to put a BOM balloon in a note?

Don't think there's a way to link to repeat region symbol valuesor even place symbols in notes (?).


You can attach an Offset Note to a ballon if that's any help.

You can put a part parameter into a note. (example: &part_number:1 will insert the value for part_number from the first model in the assembly.

Dailey,


I don't know of a way to put the bom balloon in a note but you can put any symbol you have in a note, so a BOM symbol would work.


You must have the BOM ballon as a user defined symbol and in session


In the note type &sym(symbol_name) i.e. &sym(bom_balloon)


The system will then prompt for the variable text part number/bom reference.

Any suggestions?

dailey,


You need to change:

1. 
   <LI>The positioning point of the symbol so that it is at the bottom of the symbol</LI>
   <LI>The size of the symbol instance</LI>
