Tutorial: Using Balloons on Assembly
Drawings
Balloons support mainly assembly drawing type functions. This tutorial steps you through some of
these to give you familiarity with the tools.- Open the Ch 22 folder on the CD-ROM, and copy the file named inch B.drwdot to
your template folder. If you don’t know where your templates are, check for them by
choosing Tools ➪ Options ➪ File Locations ➪ Document Templates. - Open the assembly named Chapter 22 - SF casting assembly.SLDASM, and
click the Make Drawing From Part/Assembly toolbar button (under the New icon in
the title bar toolbar). As the template, use the inch B.DRWDOT drawing template that
you copied into your template path in Step 1. This should automatically create a four-
view drawing of the small assembly.
