Creating Balloons

You can create balloons on a 3D view or directly on a model. You can add balloons to label the components of a model. You can edit the balloons using the commands from the context toolbar.

If you add annotations directly on a model that do not have 3D views, the annotations are inserted in a 3D view by default(isometric view).

Before you begin: Open or import a model in the app.
  1. Activate a 3D View from the Design Manager panel.

    If you add annotations directly on a model that do not have 3D views, the annotations are inserted in a 3D view by default(isometric view).

  2. From the action bar, select Annotation> Balloons .
  3. Select the component for which the balloons need to be created.
  4. In the Balloon dialog box, enter a number or a text in the Annotation field.
  5. Click Apply and repeat.
    The balloon is created on the selected component. The dialog box remains open. You can create multiple balloons at once. Click to save changes and close the dialog box.

    You can move and change the position of the balloon and can also rotate it.

    You can edit the balloon using the context toolbar. For more information, see Context Toolbars.

The created balloon is displayed under the selected view in the tree.
