Have you ever wanted to make sure an inspection balloon could be tethered to another annotation item, like a dimension? Here is how to accomplish this is a few short steps. First, dimension your drawing in the normal way. Then add your balloons, notes, symbols, ect… by double clicking the view that you want to associate them with first. This activated the view and makes any item you draw or add notes note stick to that view for good. Then you can add balloons, notes ect… After you add the info you need, CTRL-select the balloon and the dimension and Right Mouse click to get your context sensitive menu. Here you will choose the Group flyout command and choose the Group command. If you want to move the balloon after it has been grouped, hold the ALT key down and drag the balloon. This will keep the grouped relationship in tact.
Check out the video below showing how to create a fully ballooned drawing ready for inspection with the balloons grouping process. For more info on fully ballooned drawings, watch this webcast.
