Balloons

I have 20 breakers on a Din Rail.  Each has a different number in my BOM.  All 20 appear in my Panel Layout.  Is there a way to balloon all 20 at one time?

No, the balloon command will prompt you to place the balloon, in between each circuit breaker.

As previously stated, it cannot be done with the current AutoCAD Electrical Toolset. However, it can be done using programming. If this is an idea you want, head on over to this link and vote for the idea. I have already programmed this and outlined the programming specs in the idea. I can't give any code on this, however, I can give as much guidance as you need to make it work.

That is a great Idea! I voted for it.

Me too, I like the approach on how to decide where the balloon should go. I added a suggestion for editing vectors, I'd like to see a tool with that ability.

This is one of the better ideas I've voted for, I hope Autodesk still monitors the Idea Station.
