Balloons

Is it possible to make balloons and the text inside BOLD so that they
show up better.
These are not BOM balloons. I have inserted them manually and each one
has a number.
Failing this, can they be made bigger (BOLD is better).

Thanks Peter

 

The text you put in the balloon can be selected and with Properties, set
with Style to any font, any size. My balloon size grows when the font size
grows. There is, strictly speaking, no Bold in Pro/e but there are bolder
and more prominent fonts. I know of no way to make the inserted balloon
outline bolder.

In the properties, you can use the thickness to make the text appear as
bold as you like.

This works okay with Pro/e's native fonts, however, it has no effect on
TrueType fonts. Pro/e's text creation, formatting and font handling
capabilities are crude, dumb, deplorable and shamefully third rate. And, if
you go to transfer this text and these fonts to PostScript/PDF, you lose all
the ASCII text: Pro/e converts everything to vector line entities (as dumb
as you can get), including type faces, bold or not (ALL intelligence lost,
NO text searching here). So, the inability to bolden text in a balloon is
just about the very tip of a very big iceberg.
