Balloon numbers not updating

Balloon numbers not updating

Balloon numbers not updating

(OP)
R18, SP8
I've noticed that when I revise a CATProduct and then go to the CATDrawing, the balloon numbers do not update.
Several components were removed from my CATProduct and then I used the "Generate Numbering" to renumber the components in the Bill of material.  When I review the BOM in the CATProduct, the numbering is correct.  I then go to my CATDrawing, hit the update button, but the drawing balloons remain unchanged...they will not update to the new numbers.  I even tried a "Force update" to ensure that it is updating, but nothing changes.

Thanks.

RE: Balloon numbers not updating

We have found that if you manually set any of the numbers in your drawing it breaks the link back to the table in the product.  Not sure if that is the case for you.
