Custom Balloon Shape using Sketched Symbols

[admaiora]

Would be great the ability to use customize shape and structures  for baloons in drawing files.

[admaiora]

From the What's new of the new release of Inventor 2016..

"Custom Balloons in Balloon Styles

You can use a sketch symbol as the default balloon shape in a balloon style. In the balloon style, switch on the Used-Defined Symbol button, and select a symbol from the list."

Thank you guys!

I've jest installed Inventor2016 and checked this function.

Actually I can choose User-defined-symbol as the shape of balloon.

I have a questions below.

How can I define the insert point of the properties?
I tried, but they were inserted at the center of the symbol automatically.

I added ITEM and MATERIAL into [select properties] box

The balloon shows this.

I want to do like this

Any help would be appreciated.

Is there a way to create multiple balloon styles, each with different custom shapes? I can create multiple styles, each with different stock shapes and I have created a style with a custom shape but I don't seem to be able to make multiple styles all with different custom shapes. Thanks!

This idea has been implemented within Autodesk Inventor 2016. Special thanks to the author of this Idea and likewise to everyone who cast your Kudo for it.  In Inventor 2016 you can use a sketch symbol as the default balloon shape in a balloon style. In the balloon style, switch on the Used-Defined Symbol button and select a symbol from the list.  NOTE: a local symbol must be present within the document in order to be referenced within the style.
