Selecting balloon leader/edit attachment

Selecting balloon leader/edit attachment

It takes me several attempts at times to right mouse click a balloon leader in order to re-attach or move it. And then at times it comes right up? I've experimented with selecting within different tabs like Annotation, Tools, or layout, as well as selecting closer to the arrow, but it doesn't seem to help? Again, sometimes I have no problem but more often than not I get the text style or convert to draft entities menu instead of edit attachment and arrow style menu that I am looking for. Forgot to mention I am in Creo 9.0.4.0 drawing.

Thanks, I think I've got it, for me it was more like selecting the leader, then a fast RMB click. I may need an alternate selection method, keyboard shortcut, or mapkey, LOL not being so ambidextrous.!

I always try to RMB on the leader line to initiate an edit attachment.

Correct, that's what I've been doing but it's frustrating and takes more time when edit attachments doesn't show.

I've tried single click and double click with right mouse button and like I said it off and on. Sometimes it works, maybe my mouse button has to be slowed down?

In Creo an RMB click has 2 functions, one is to accept (that is a short click), the other is to bring up a menu (a slightly longer click).  To get the menu you need to hold the RMB for a short time.  Takes a bit of time to get used to after learning about it.
