I am using Creo Parametric - Release 4.0 (connected) 4.0 M030

Cannot Get BOM balloons to show up on a couple of drawings but will on others. No errors,no visible issues just balloons do not appear. Have tried clearing the regions and still nothing will show on any view. Can create other drawings and get balloons to work fine just certain drawings/models.

    1. Possibly the views are of a simplified rep but the BOM table is to another rep or the master rep.

    2.There are more than one models in the drawing and you are trying to show the BOM balloons on the wrong model

    3. Aliens are erasing bits of your brain so you think you don't see BOM balloons on some drawings but see them on others.

    Any chance you can share a problem model/drawing?

      Stephen,

      Not sure if this is already one of your thoughts:

       

       - multiple page drawing and you have used the balloon number on one of the other views. The same number cannot be used multiple times.

        I have cleared the regions and still not had any luck. I had found those cases before opening this one and was not able to make those fixes work on this.

        Another possibility is the balloons are already there and erased.  Check the drawing tree with the Table tab active for erased/hidden balloons. 

        There is always more to learn.

          Good thought. I checked the tree and don't see anything hidden our out of line. See attached snapshot.

          Change to the annottation tab and expand the views to see hidden balloons, if they are there.

          Hi,

          tip no 1.

          Sometimes drawing can be corrupted. Create new drawing to verify this idea.

          tip no 2.

          Open case at PTC Support and send them problematic data.
