Creating an Assembly Drawing

Adding Balloons

To identify all the parts in the detail view of the clamp, you can add balloons. Autodesk Inventor software

automates the process of creating balloons on your assembly drawings.

1. Click the title of the Panel bar and then choose Drawing

Annotation Panel.

2. On the Panel bar, click the down arrow next to the

Balloon tool and then click the Balloon All tool.

3. In the graphics window, select the detail view you just

created.

4. In the Parts List - Item Numbering dialog box, click the

Only Parts option and then click OK.

Balloons are created and automatically distributed around the

perimeter of the detail view. If you want to change the position

of a balloon, simply drag it to a new location.
