circular ballon w/2 entries

[Anonymous]

Is there a way to change the bottom entry to give the sheet number instead of quantity? Can custom ballons be made w/VB?

Thanks,

Duane,
I'm not sure I understand your request - for example say you have IDW with 2
sheets, sheet 1 and sheet 2. Place the view, start ballooning. Place a
baloon and it contains 1 (item) and sheet 1 (sheen name), second contains 2
(item) and sheet 1. Swith to another sheet, create a view and start
balloon. First will be something like 1 (item) and sheet 2 (sheet name),
second will be like 3 (item), sheet 2 (sheet number).

If this is what you want, than there is no way to make it automatic with
only one UDS. You would have to create one for each sheet and have the sheet
name there as parameter, or have one with promted text and filled teh sheet
name manulay during placement.

Jirka,
Actually it's a little more complex than that. What I want is to create my assembly view on sheet 1, including balloons, BOM (parts list), etc. So lets say item 1 is detailed on sheet 2 and item 2 is being detailed on sheet 3. I want my balloons to show item number which can be referenced from the BOM and the sheet number that the referenced item is being detailed on. For item 1 the balloon would read 1(item #) over 2(sheet #): because it is item 1 being detailed on sheet 2, and item 2 would read 2(item#) over 3(sheet#): because it is item 2 being detailed on sheet 3. Hope this clears up any questions.

Using the property style balloon might be a way to achieve this but the property is not in the list. The property style balloon uses the column chooser definitions for the parts list and the data from the IDW properties, everything except .

Please forgive my ignorance but what does UDS stand for, User Design Standard?

Thanks,
