Modify Balloon Size

Modify Balloon Size

In drawings, it would be lovely to change the size of Balloons.  Currently, the fixed size is a little large (especially on 11x17 prints).

I would like to be able to have balloon completely customized. Per standard of our company we use just number with straight leader without arrow or any balloon or rectangular around of number. All leaders must be parallel. Solidworks can do all kinds of customization of balloons except "all balloons are parallel". Different companies have different standards.

This is basic mechanical 2D function in all of other software. Why not to prepare such simple function and so rush to release to clients?

 

Autodesk repeats the same routine from Mechanical Desktop->Inventor->Fusion 360. No one is completed.

Really?  I cannot believe this hasn't been implemented in about 4 years? 

Has anyone found a way around this?

 

Thanks!

this need to get fixed in the next release, STOP working on new feature, and just work on getting bugs, performance issues, stability and current features more complete.

 

thanks

Hey folks, along with the current list of improvements to drawings this feature would be VERY helpful in producing professional looking drawings. 

 

This might not be a hot ticket item for the average user, seeing as how it has been archived, but it would be very helpful to professionals who want to use your software. You know, those of us who actually pay for this software. 

 

I use a text height of 0.12 for general annotation, 0.18 for titles, and then the BOM ballons drop in at 0.24 and end up looking like a big clown nose 🤡 . Major ☹️

Hey @Garret_H , circling back on this - we plan to add control over balloon size this year. We're going to address it by offering users control over the base text height for balloons, and the balloons themselves will resize accordingly. Will shoot you an update when this improvement gets closer.
