Flat Pattern Annotations - Re-positioning

Flat Pattern Annotations - Re-positioning

Flat Pattern Annotations - Re-positioning

(OP)
Hi,

I'm using Siemens NX11.

I've recently made a flat pattern of a sheet metal component. When I generate the flat pattern view in Drafting mode the automated annotations are generated as usual.
On components that have a lot of bends sometimes these annotations need a bit of tidying up. When I have tried to essentially drag the annotations to relocate them they simply will not move. Instead of dragging the note out of the way my curser reverts to a selection box.

I have created manual notes on the same page and they can be dragged around just fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Chris

RE: Flat Pattern Annotations - Re-positioning

Do the annotations highlight when you mouse over them?
Do you have selection filtering set to 'Note'?
Some images or an uploaded file would help us help you.
