Balloon without leader

[BromanSillito]

I need to add a balloon to a drawing that doesn't have a leader. I want to reference something that we include in the BOM but is not included on the model (like paint, glue, etc.).  Is this possible?

I think what you're wanting is a custum part.

Edit parts list, make custom part.

Make a new balloon, by left clicking a part, then right click, and check virtual component.

Select your custom part and then detatch the leader, drag it into the balloon and edit arrowhead to be none.

Awesome! That worked great, thanks. Still would be nice not to have to do it in such a roundabout way, but at least it gets the job done.

I would suggest that you make a block and then edit it so that you can create the numbers by hand. The method outlined above will leave an empty line in the BOM and causes further complications.
