    Can balloons be attached to BOM items or empty models

    Can balloons be attached to BOM items or empty models

    Hi ctopher, Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately nothing seems to let me select an item from the BOM as the "stacked balloon" unless I am missing something. Because the Loctite, grease, etc, are hidden, there is no model to click on. If you click on the arrows on the left side of the BOM it...

    Can balloons be attached to BOM items or empty models

    We have drawings that list items like Loctite, grease, etc in the BOM. These are empty models with a part number so they appear in the BOM. Is it possible to add them to stacked balloons some how? Or, what about adding the BOM line item to the balloon attached to the nut, bolt, pin, etc. I...

    EPDM 2013.......Anyone using it?

    Hi CBL, I know about the release status but I was hoping for any feedback, even feedback about the pre-release version. 2012 was such a disaster we uninstalled and went back to 2011 SW and EPDM www.phoenixdyno.com Home of the world's most accurate and repeatable dynamometers, dynamometer...

    EPDM 2013.......Anyone using it?

    Hello all, We are contemplating jumping over 2012 (SW & EPDM) and going right to 2013. Does anyone have any feedback on EPDM 2013 stability? Thanks, PD www.phoenixdyno.com Home of the world's most accurate and repeatable dynamometers, dynamometer accessories, and data acquisition & control...

    Indent function is not intuitive (to me)

    Hello all, After watching several videos, reading the help file and different blog posts, and trying this for 2 days I must admit defeat and ask for help. I am trying to do a simple indent feature with no luck. The part file is attached (SW2011 SP5.0). For your reference, it is a multibody...

    Wireframe Colors

    When viewing an assembly I like to see all components with the same wireframe color. When I open some assemblies some parts have black wireframe, some with white wireframe, etc. Is there a way to apply this setting to an assembly? Or even better, is there a way to "batch" apply a setting to...
