Question

Ref Balloon Radius

Greetings,

Does anyone know how to define the radius of the default reference balloon symbol?

For a standard balloon, it's rather simple; just use the "max_balloon_radius" or "min_balloon_radius" . This works great and allows for a uniform size. I'd like my ref balloons to be the same size, but I just cannot figure out how to do it!

Logically, one would think that the reference ballooons would follow these settings as well.

If not, it may just warrant opeing up a support case!

Looks like qty split balloons have a similar problem. These are both governed by the symbol rather than in internal operation.

I knew there were reasons I didn't like following the regimen of the automated process

The Balloon Note (my go to use-case) does follow the min/max regime. But I do have to manage my external qty references which can now be related to the balloon. I might just have to investigate a better way to use a balloon symbol so I can make it a little easier.

When the "max_balloon_radius" value is set to 0, the Ref balloon are the same size as the regular balloons.
