How Balloonist.io Works
Easily balloon and extract features from your drawings.
Upload PDF Drawing
Click to upload or drag file into the browser.
Select Features
Simply draw a rectangle around the features you wish to balloon & extract.
Features Extracted & Tabulated
Once selected, dimensions and features are extracted, interpreted, and added to your feature table. Balloonist attempts to interpret the type of feature (e.g., diameter, thread, etc.) as well as the nominal, max, min, and mean values and tolerance type.
Edit and Review
After you've selected part features, and they've been added to the table, you have the flexibility to change numbers, toggle visibility of leader line, and delete items as well as change the color and size of the balloon.
Export Files
When finished, simple export the edited/ballooned PDF as well as the feature table (as an AS9102C Excel report or CSV).
