You can set the min and max size of the balloon.

max_balloon_radius 0.000000

min_balloon_radius 0.000000

If the values are the same, you will have a consistent balloon.

Just make sure the value fits your intended annotation

    I expected Antonius answer to work then I re-read the original post, Is this a balloon from a repeat region and the reference balloon? If it is, these are symbols, possibly custom symbols that would need to be corrected.

    As Antonius asks, more information would probably get you a better answer.

    Hi Antonius and Stephen, Thank you for your replies!

    In this below view, we can see the size difference between the reference balloon and the normal balloon. This is the main problem facing when I want to place the reference balloon in another view.

    There are 2 "balloons" in Creo.

    The "balloons" the config option max/min balloon radius controls are note balloons created under annotations. This option will NOT affect repeat region BOM balloons.

    I believe you are referring to BOM balloons that are generated from the TABLE tab under create balloons. These are control by symbols located in the folder "LOADPOINT"\Common Files\MXXX\symbols\report\bomballoon\ .

    To correct the size, you will have to edit the symbols.
