Callouts lose BOM ID's in animation mode?

I'm making a simple animation in composer from existing views I've created. The views I have are set up with callouts and BOM tables. They appear correct in the Views Mode, but when scrolling throught the timeline in Animation Mode the Callouts are empty. I noticed the BOM tables do not show in the animation either. I did a simple drag and drop from view pallette to the timeline, when setting up the animation. Am I missing something in order to make the balloons keep their BOM ID's in the animation mode? Thanks.

Hi Silas,

This sounds like a limitation of how views can have different BOMs and BOM IDs from view to view, but in animation mode, you can only have 1 BOM and 1 set of BOM IDs.

If the BOM IDs are changing from view to view and you are dragging/dropping those views onto your timeline, this will cause issues and the callouts will show up blank. This can be solved by assigning BOM IDs and then setting those as neutral properties for all of your actors. However, this forces all actors to share 1 set of BOM IDs.

Assuming the BOM IDs were in place when you dragged the view into the timeline, then I would expect that they would remain there as they are properties on the components being displayed. That being said, reassign BOM IDs at t=0s and you should have both the BOM table as well as callouts that have their respective IDs.

Thanks for the help, but that wasn't it either. I'm noticing the problem varies and doesn't repeat in the same manner each time. In some cases I can see the BOM just as in the View but no callouts, in other cases I can see the callouts with no BOM and no ID's in the callouts. This is a big assembly. I'll try a smaller, new, assembly later today. Looks like I'll be calling my VAR soon too. Thanks.
