I'm walking through all the entries at the moment, planning to make a list of all.

This entry already is possible I believe:

custom ballon types
such as i want part no along with nof components(qty) in subscript


With the RMB on the balloon and select Edit Balloon Style. There you can change what you need.

Now it seems you have to type it all over again when similar sentences have to be used.


Why not change it in the BOM?
And as far as I know you can use copy and paste in the parts list. You get a blue frame around the text, which means a static value.

* Copy and paste : because i NEED a static value so when some nitwit changes the part or whatever in the BOM the value (specific the name ) DOESNT change in the parts list.

Pattern a pattern : I KNOW it is possible , but i am sick of doing 501 clicks for doing an action which can be done easily in one menu.

I want more user friendlyness and not another workaround. :)

But the Copy and paste works in a parts list. Just checked it and that works perfectly. Or am I crazy? :loco:

Haven't you always been able to copy and paste, Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V. Regardless it is generally rare that you would want a static value, let alone so may that you would need copy and paste..

I think the pattern component works ok now that you can pattern a pattern, before it was a bit of a pain. Not sure what all these work arounds are, can you give some examples?

Copy and past : i understand the confusion now. I tried Ctrl + C and ctrl + V and that does work. What i meant was the use of the right mouse button for copying and pasting. In an assembly you can click on a part and assembly and copy and paste by using the RMB.

Such is not possible in the parts list.

"Regardless it is generally rare that you would want a static value, let alone so may that you would need copy and paste.." YOU dont use it. I do....... all the time.

Pattern a pattern : i consider that a workaround since you cant do it in one action : do a 3D pattern.

Does it need to be? I guess they figure the overwhelming majority of people use the BOM..

There is a good reason I don't use it :wink:

I don't think it constitutes a workaround.. workarounds tend to be more convoluted, when there is no easy way or by using the program in a manner in which it was not intended.. Pattern a Pattern is not difficult.. well I don't think it is..

Re: Display Thread Feature in 3D view on drawing

The thread command is actually a texture which is only visible in shaded views. To make a visible thread in a standard line drawing you would need to cut it manually.

I do not mean the thread itself, but the not full circle around it.

I would suggest it is based on traditional drafting conventions but perhaps someone could shed more light on it than me.

Could be, though traditionally they did not make much 3D views in detail drawings :wink:

Btw, nice post count you have there Image

Precisely my point and if they did it wouldn't be heavily detailed. However that may start to change with lean manufacturing / minimal details, etc.

Cheers.. I guess :!:
