    Balloons in idw's

    I am doing a drawing for our manual. I have created an exploded iso view
    with a presentation file, then made a idw from the presentation file. Is
    there anyway to have the part number in the ballons instead of the item
    number?

    If not in 5.3, what about V6.0?

    This would allow me to not have to have the Bill of Materials and I think it
    would make the drawing clearer.

    Thanks
    Kirk

    In 6 you can specify a property field as a balloon. But it's not a balloon,
    look more like a leader with text.
