So we all deal with them - the "bubble" print. We take a print and number every dimension to key them to the inspection report.
If you are lucky, you can get the drawing in CAD and put the numbers in that way, nice and neat. But CAD seats cost money, and many quality engineers quality and quality techs do not get one.
So we are relegated to two common methods: Bubble a paper sheet by hand with a circle template and scan this into electronic format. Frequently losing the ability to read the print.
Or putting an electronic copy of the print in Excel and putting graphical objects on it with numbers in them. A painstaking prospect of cutting, pasting and editting.
Until now.
I present the Excel Bubble Print utility. Define the formatting of your bubble, store the template, tell it the increment you want to count by, and easily place "bubbles" on an image in Excel.
