Balloons Enhancements

Custom Balloons in Balloon Styles

You can use a sketch symbol as the default balloon shape in a balloon style. In the balloon style, switch on the Used-Defined Symbol button, and select a symbol from the list.

Tip: To make your custom balloon shapes available in all drawings within a project, add sketch symbols defining the custom balloons to the centralized sketch symbol library.

Window Selection for Aligned Balloons

Any window selection that includes balloons is valid, and displays Align commands in the right-click menu. After you start an alignment command, all objects that cannot be aligned are automatically removed from the selection set.

Corrected Split Balloons

When you insert a split balloon, the middle line is connected to the circle.

Migrated balloons are not automatically updated to the new type. Edit a legacy balloon to update its appearance.

Improved Auto Balloon command

Placement of automatic balloons was improved to optimize the balloon start points, and position and length of balloon leaders.
