Balloons on an angle.

[cbenner]

Hey,... has anyone come up with a way to align balloons that are placed on an isometric view so that they are aligned with the edges of your model?  IV allows for horizontal or vertical alignment, but not angular.  I'd like to line them up parallel to the edges of my view.

It's a bit hokey, but I've gotten around this by making a sketch (attached to the view).  Project a line from the model, draw a line parallel to it.  Then I would exit the sketch and visually line the balloons up on the sketch line.  When finished, turn off the visibility of the sketch (in case you need it again later).

It's not perfect, but you can get it close enough.

Is that the only way to align balloons to an iso view? You can align ballons to a line in Mechanical, I assumed it would be the same in Inventor - but there only seems to be vertical & horizontal options.
