Hiding DRW callout balloons?

Are we able to turn off the bubble around our bill of material call outs?

 Option to put it on a non print layer or hide the bubble.

The parent company we work with is asking us if this was an option in creo.

Or if we could add it to an enhancement request item for future creo drawing release.

We understand how the leader is tied to the circle entity for auto relationships.

But would like to turn that puppy off during times  we need more space for callouts.

Stephen,

We'll probably accept your post as a solution knowing that it'll take time for the actual solution to move through all the layers we deal with while working for a huge organization. It's no biggie. We continue to march on & are grateful for our internal developers that work more closely with PTC to work out all the bugs in new software releases. We are always pushing the envelope in our tech pub department. They tell me "the mouth" to stay in his lane quite often.

At the end of the day even if we need to take our goods thru many other software vendors to get an end product PTC is only a small piece the puzzle of software people we deal with on a daily basis.

You can make your own symbols to use as BOM balloons.  The process is the same as creating custom symbols.

Would they still have arrow leader capability along with smart ties to part assembly components?

Some of our item numbers are user populated (Non smart) not all tied to an actual bill of materials.

This guy does go over some creating some custom symbols in a clear video:

We are looking at hiding that BOM balloon.

We have custom balloons that do this. That being said, in order to have the leader there needs to be a circle sketch. To get around this we have just made the circle sketch so small it doesn't show up.
