Using Creo, can assembly balloons be attached, or 'offset', to snap lines created in drawing mode?

Thanks

I wrongly considered using a draft grid for this. Something very weird about attached balloons however.

If balloons are placed attached (with leader), they do not fall on the grid. If you place the balloon without a leader it does fall on grid. You can then attach the balloon to the feature it does maintain grid placement whenever you move the balloon.

I'd say this is a bug. I have used this methods from the beginning of time and this is the 1st time I have noticed this odd behavior. I am using Creo 2.0 M020.

edit: this strange behavior is now reported to CS. Will update with reply.

Hello Antonius:

Thanks for the info. Very helpful. I think creating a snap line and using it as an alignment guide for balloons is probably just as good as any other solution. It would be helpfull for Pro/E to create an 'offset' option similar to symbols.

Thanks again,

Joe

Also "find" "balloon" in dtl options. A lot of useful options are available.
