Item Bubbles have a mind of thier own!

Item Bubbles have a mind of thier own!

Item Bubbles have a mind of thier own!

(OP)
We have a large multi-sheet drawing that was opened in SW03 SP3.1, which was created in SW03 SP1.  This drawing has not been opened since we upgraded to SP3.1 about 2 weeks ago.

Now there are a few Item Bubbles (IBs) that have changed position.  For example, say we have a cover that is bolted at 4 corners (N,S,E,W).  The IBs were attached to the North bolt/washer/nut parts, but now the IBs are attached to the North bolt/washer and the East nut part.  

This is the first time I have noticed this.  I have seem IBs move as far as the bubble itself was concerned, but never the anchor point as well.

It doesn't seem to matter if the hardware parts are seperate instances or component patterns.  Anyone else experiencing this?  Has anyone seen this more with component patterns vs instances of parts?

RE: Item Bubbles have a mind of thier own!

I'm curious as to whether the instances moved and the IB's moved with them.

That's a possibility, but there's no way that I know of to check this.
