Inventor: Create balloons on blank drawing

[Anonymous]

Afternoon all and happy new year!

Back to work this week and I have been asked to place a pneumatic sketch onto our company drawing border for one of our customers,

I have managed to import the drawing (Import of draft view / originally DXF) and added a table that the pneumatics guy had passed over to me in spreadsheet form.

Only trouble I am having is that I have been asked to balloon the drawing similarly to our normal engineering drawings but as the drawing technically doesn't exist, I cannot attach balloons... Is there any way to create balloons which are 'floating' and not attached to an actual drawing or view? 

I have attached an image of what I am working with,

Thanks in advance!

Hello @Anonymous

Thanks for your interesting question.

As far as I know, there is no possibility with the normal Inventor tools.

There is an interesting short discussion about that here

Ahh thats a shame, thank you for the heads up though Sergio, 

I will have to reason with them then and hope they don't mind just having notes dotted around instead

Unless I'm reading incorrectly..  Just create a sketched symbol with a prompted entry that represents your balloon style.  Then from there insert your symbol and enter the balloon/item number you want.

Thanks Mark! I keep forgetting all about prompted entries! 

Im guessing I will have to create two seperate sketched symbols, 1 for one balloon and another for 2 balloons (to look like they usually do when attached to one another)

I will have a nother play around now and see what I can get! 

EDIT

Thanks a bunch again Mark, got a rough annotation, its atleast much better than the one I was given, I shall remember this for next time!
