From the mechanical browser, right-click the annotation view to balloon and select Create Balloons. In this video I'm going to show you how to use the leader command or what we call multi leader.In this video, you will learn to add a balloon to a footprint using the Balloon tool. One way is to edit the note Text and add the frame around the number. But I prefer to make the notes and numbers as separate, individual Texts. How in the world does one do it in ACAD though? I'm completely ignorant on the subject. In general, expect contact from balloons to be mitigated.
