About Enhancements to Balloons (AutoCAD Mechanical)

We have added 3 new commands to modify balloons.

The commands are shortcuts to various options in the AMBALLOON command. Although the new commands do not provide additional functionality you can repeat the commands by pressing the ENTER key. The commands are available on the Balloon panel of the Annotate ribbon tab.

  New Command Shortcut to
AMBALLOON_COLLECT Collect option of AMBALLOON command.
AMBALLOON_RENUM Renumber option of the AMBALLOON command.
AMBALLOON_REORG Reorganize option of the AMBALLOON command.

Saving to Older Versions

The balloons created by the new commands are identical to the balloons created by the AMBALLOON command in previous releases. Hence, no information is lost when you save drawings containing these balloons to older versions of AutoCAD Mechanical.
