Change Shape of Balloons

Greetings, I was wondering if their was a way to change the shape of balloons from circles to triangles? If so is it possible to use both types of balloons in the same drawing? Also, is their a way to balloon a note? For example if you wanted a balloon around note 3 on your drawing, because certain surfaces pertain to that note. Thanks.

Pro-E does not have a better option yet, but to create your own symbol. http://www.synthx.com/tom/sy_tip_0602.htm

To add to the recent reply to your question on BOM balloons, you can mix and match the balloons shown on the screen. Under table BOM balloons select alt symbol for the ones you want either triangles or circles. First you must create the triangle symbol, so go through the steps to create a custom symbol. On a circle around a note, that can be a symbol as well, but not tied to the BOM. In order to connect balloons to the BOM, the item must be in the repeat region, i.e. BOM.

Thanks guys, your advice is greatly appreciated.
