When you select an icon from the icon menu, it returns the footprint block
".dwg" file to use. This technique of footprint selection is useful for situations
where there may be multiple possible orientations of a given footprint part
number.
Item Numbers/Balloons
Add a balloon to a component
Assign an item or detail number to the main part number of a component or
each multiple catalog part number through the Insert/Edit dialog box. It is
stored as a data value on the block itself. To bring this item number out to a
visible label, a balloon for example, use the Insert Balloon command and pick
somewhere on the block. The item number of the component is retrieved,
and then you are prompted to select start/end for a leader.
A single item number attribute, B_ITEM, is inserted on the balloon symbol.
You can set up a template to have additional visible attributes added to the
balloon automatically at insertion time. Create this drawing with the attribute
definitions you want to include with the balloon symbol:
\panel\wd_ptag_addattr_itemballoon.dwg.
If an existing template is found, a copy of it gets exploded and merged (that
is, blocked with the balloon as AutoCAD Electrical inserts it into the drawing).
