Stacked Balloons

Anonymous — Thu, 19 Aug 2021 15:30:35 GMT

Hi,

Is there a way to create stacked balloons (multiple balloons in one leader) for an assembly drawing in Autodesk Fusion 360?

Hi @Anonymous

Not yet, but "Balloon Collections" are something that I will add to the long term roadmap.

You can check out the public roadmap here.

any progress on merged / stacked balloons, as this is sort of a must have for tidy drawings.

Any update on the stacked balloons?

Very helpful for annotating fastener stacks with multiple components. (i.e. Bolt + Washers + Nut)

Hi @ivan99MCF

We've been tracking feature requests for stacked balloons. It's on our roadmap and is starting to move higher in the priorities.

It's worth noting that sometimes a feature request can seem to take a lot longer than you might expect to get into the product. This is usually because there are other prioritized features in the queue ahead of it. Prioritization of features is based on many factors, but one of the largest influencers is the amount of customer requests we get (as outlined above). This one has had plenty of requests and is getting the attention it deserves!

Please bear with us, keep an eye on the public roadmap and the Fusion blogs, where we will share updates as we go. If you would like to meet with me to discuss drawings, or our prioritization process, please book a Zoom session with me via my calendar link. I'd love to chat to you about this, and to share some of our near term plans with you. Or feel free to drop me an email, Clint. Brown {a} Autodesk.com

I second this. Although you can manually get around it by creating custom symbols and manually aligning them to balloons, it's still not a way forward. We need normal balloon stacking. And also support for other type of annotations for assembly items other than balloons.
