Balloon * error

Balloon * error

Balloon * error

(OP)
Hello,

I am trying to balloon a drawing view for small sub assembly. For one of the parts, I am expecting SW to call out as 2, instead it calls out as *.

How can I fix this.

RE: Balloon * error

You can always manually select what you would like your balloon to say. There is a drop down menu under Balloon Settings called Balloon Text. Select Text and a field will open up bellow where you can enter what you would like to be in the ballon.

This does not fix whatever formatting error has occured, but your balloon will say what you want it to.

Hope this helps.
