  1. I've seen it done before, but it has been awhile. I have an assembly that I dropped another assembly in that has a few items I want to call out on the BOM and balloon them on the print. How do you expand the assembly in the BOM to do so?
  2. I have a LISP that creates balloons simply for me, the problem is the LISP only makes balloons with a dot on the end. I have been playing about with it trying to make it have the option to put an arrow head on the end but can't work it out after trying for quite a while. The draughtsmen here have been using it since they started so I'm not sure if LISPs will be written the same way now as they were in '87! Any help would be great. Cheers. Here is the code; ;---------- BALLOON.LSP Simon Jones 24-8-87 ; Macro to simplify the construction of item-number labels. ; The size of the dot, text and balloon are based on the dimensioning ; variables.
