Ballooning Problems
Ballooning Problems
(OP)
We just upgraded to SW 2006 sp2.0 from 2005 and have been having some problems with Ballooning. About half the balloons we manually put on a dwg go "dangling". I have been hovering over an edge or a face until it highlights and we get the leader to pop up and then select it. Half the time it selects it correctly and the other half it puts a circle balloon with a "?" in it(dangling balloon). Is there some option we have selected or are we doing something wrong? This is the same procedure we did with ballooning in 2005. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

RE: Ballooning Problems
On any particular drawing (with exploded views) I can attach the balloon leaders to 95% of the components; but the other 5% don't let me select ANY faces or edges. I opened the assembly while the drawing is open and I still can't select any of the edges of faces. If I have the assembly open, and put it in the exploded state, I can select ANY of the edges or faces on ALL of the components. It's a hassle to open the assembly to attach leaders on a drawing but that's the work around that I have found.
Does anyone know why this is happening or how to remedy the problem so that I don't have to open every assembly to annotate the drawing?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
