The
Balloon page allows you to make settings that
determine how balloons appear in various drawing types. A balloon is a number
that marks an item in a panel layout or other type of drawing. The number
corresponds to that item's position in the bill of materials list.
| Setting | Description |

| Balloon Numbering By
|
Select whether the balloon numbering will be unique
across the entire project, across each installation or across each location.
There is also a selection
installation+location which allows balloon numbers to be duplicated if
either the installation or location is different.
|
| Remove All Balloons
|
Removes all assigned balloon numbers in the project.
This will delete the balloons in the drawings and remove the item numbers from
the project database.

- Scale Balloon radius and text by page scale - Enable this if
you wish the balloon circle radius and text size to be scaled according the
page scale of the page on which the balloon is placed.
-
Display Separate Balloons for Quantified
Parts - Enable this if you wish the balloon to be displayed multiple
times for symbols that have a part number assigned with a quantity greater than
one.
- Use balloon numbers from parts database - The user has the
ability to define a balloon number in the
Parts Database Manager. When this option is enabled,
whenever a part number is assigned, the corresponding balloon number is
automatically assigned as well.
