Inventor Drawing balloon based on node name

Anonymous

Is it possible to create a balloon in an idw that when placed references the node name from the assembly tree (and updates if the node name changes)? There must be pieces of ilogic or vba available but I have looked and found nothing out there.

You can link the text within the balloon to Iproperties. I am assuming you want to link it to the "Part number" iproperty?

 

click to create a balloon

when prompted under 'BOM view' select 'Parts only'

Right click on the balloon and select edit 'balloon style'

under 'Property display' click on the button 'property chooser'

now add the iproperties you want.

 

The text in the balloon will update when linked in this way.

You can save these settings in your template so it is ready to go
