Hi Rashish,

Thank you for the ticket and the sample model. Please take a look at this macro: Insert BOM Balloons. It demonstrates how to add all balloons one-by-one (not an auto balloons) to the first drawing view and attach the leader to the center of the corresponding edge and also align the balloon itself by offsetting by 10 mm in X and Y.

The above example adds the balloon to the first edge found. Here is another example which can be useful which demonstrates how to find and select the specific edge: Find and select specific edge in the drawing view
