To Add a Balloon Note
Balloon notes consist of text enclosed in a circle. You can add them freely anywhere on the drawing, or attach them to any number of edges. When you enter multiple lines of text for the balloon note, each line within a balloon is enclosed, stacking them horizontally or vertically next to each other, depending upon whether you choose Horizontal or Vertical on the NOTE TYPES menu. The size of these related balloons is equal to the largest one necessary to enclose the longest text.
