Cannot select region

I have a two page drawing with one model on one page and another model on another page. I am in the process of updating the balloons on the two pages for their respective BOM's. I set the model active to the corresponding page and as I mouse over the regions, the outline of them appears (see picture below - aqua dotted outline). Selecting the Table Tab and then BOM balloons command, then create Balloons: now when I mouse over the regions since it is asking for a region for me to place the balloons, the regions will not allow them to be selected (similar, but no aqua window present).

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

There is some terminology here being used that is confusing me. When you say region, that should specifically be refering to the table that contains a repeat region. The "view" is what is highlighted on the drawing in aqua.

Since you have 2 tables on this draiwng, it wants to know that region (table) that you want to show the balloons from. It is not asking you to select a view. Once you have selected the table, it should let you show the balloons for the view or component.

If I missed the point completely, I apologize.

Is the repeat region, and the drawing view tied to the same model/representation?

The repeat region on page two is tied to the regions on page two.

The repeat region on page one is tied to the regions on page one.
