Manual text in balloons switching to a question mark on rebuild

You are right ot should work. Are you able to post your files here to have a look at?

Hi Benedict

I don't know why this would happen, maybe because a balloon needs a BoM table to refer too but why not try using a note instead and change the border type to circle. Looks the same as a balloon. Make sure the text is highlighted before applying the border.

I use this for revision traingles when doing a change

Hope this helps

I use "text" in my balloons, too and I'm working out ok.  I'm in SW2015 and just upgraded from SW2010 so I would have seen any problems if they existed during that leap.

Make sure the leader of each arrow is actually selecting a component, it might have switched to a ball end and not an arrow and that might be the problem.

I agree with Steve, if you are manually inputting information, then i would not use a balloon due to its relationship to a BOM.

Instead, insert a note with a circular border.
