Issue with BOM balloon type change

Dear All,

There are parametric bom balloons in multiple sheets.

If I change the bom balloon type from quantity split to simple circle, all the parametric balloons in the drawing except the one's which are in current sheet are going off.

Has anybody faced this issue?

Request all to let me know due to what this behaviour occurs.

Thanks in advance.

If I understand correctly, PTC only allows one balloons if the it is quantity split. So you cannot have multiple "5"'s on a drawing some on page 1, 3 and 8. They will only show up on one page.

If you are changing them, they are probably assuming you want the current page to have the balloon verses other pages.

If I change the type to custom symbol, it works.. Only issue is with conversion from quantity split to simple type.

If I am understanding you correctly can't you make a "custom" symbol that is just a copy of the simple type and then use that? Are you using ALT symbol?

Balloons are in erased mode after conversion.

I have had leaders disappear on me (for which I understand the reason) but I have never had balloons get erased on me. Is it possible you have a fancy layer rule that looks for the simple balloon type and layers them off? Other than that, I don't have any other ideas. Maybe someone else has experienced this. It may be helpful for other people to specify what version you are using.

This issue comes when we do ballooning by components.. Simple balloons will be erased once we change the bom balloon type
