I am trying to call out the center ball race of this bearing. whenever the arrow at the end of the note is placed over the intended steel ball, the hatching around the arrow changes. As i withdraw the arrow, the area with the altered hatching moves with it. It is a section view. hatching is colored via layers, my notation is on the dimensions layer. I am stumped and cannot find any similar situations online. thank you in advance!
I assume you're referring to the color change showing in the screenshot you posted at Notation line leader seams to be changing the existing hatching ? If yes, I've always found hatching and Layers to be flaky. The only thing I can think of would be to turn off the setting that breaks hatching around annotations. I don't know offhand where it is, and don't have time to look for it right now, but go to Tools > Options and do a search. It shouldn't be difficult to find.
