How to create Balloone note in drawing ?

[ppandarkar-2]

Hi..

I want to create an reference balloons in pipe assembly drawing at start and at end of pipe.

I have created pipe bunch assembly drawing and BOM table, but for one individual pipe i have to show its BOM number at start of pipe and at end of pipe.

So please can anyone help to do this in ProToolkit.

Note : pipe is created point to point method so point data is available but I am not able to get last point number.

Regards,

Prashant Pandarkar

By register a macro in toolkit is not reliable to work in consistent.But toolkit API in drawing deffinetly going to work to create ballon at the point you specified in drawing.

I remember i created symbol with variable text inside at each dimension in drawing with toolkit.
