BALLOONS MOVE ON UPDATE

BALLOONS MOVE ON UPDATE

BALLOONS MOVE ON UPDATE

(OP)
Hi Group
Has anyone else had the issue of generated balloons moving around when the view is updated?
I have a view with balloons generated by the Product.
After inserting them I moved them around to suit my requirements.
When I reopen the CATDrawing and it requires updating, some (not all) balloons move. Leader stays put, just the balloon with text moves.
Anyone know what the problem/issue is here.
Dave

RE: BALLOONS MOVE ON UPDATE

I have a similar problem, although it may not be the same problem.  

I usually creat my own balloons on assembly views, and when I update sometimes the balloons move (although it usually seems because catia can't find the object I was pointing to because I changed the geometry or something similar).  But also sometimes after updating, if I try to click a balloon and move it, it won't let me drag the balloon anywhere.  I have to right-click -> positional link -> delete positional link even though I never created a positional link, then I can drag the balloon around again.  

Annoying problems, for sure.
