Auto Balloon only woks for one view? 1

[5H4D0W]

I can't get NX to give me auto balloon for multiple views in different sheets. It doesn't give me any error message, the balloons simply do not appear.

They worked fine in the first assembly view. Not on any of my other sheets for some reason.

I was thinking I could try to add multiple parts list, but NX apparently can't let me do that either. Any thoughts?

NX 12.0

The old drafting rule states that If you have placed a balloon on an item, you should not put another balloon on the same item.
This is the "never create double annotation rule". ( There is probably a good word for this in English)
NX tries to follow that rule in the manner that If a component has a balloon somewhere in this drawing file, it will not "autoballon " another on that component, unless
You allow "reference balloons". *
You can create manual , empty, balloons, .If they have the same shape and the leader is attached to an edge of that component, it will receive the same number when you update the P list.
When you intitially create autoballoons, you can select any number of views on the open sheet.
if there then are components without balloons, NX only places balloons on visible objects, you can create these on a different sheet. ( Section views etc)
Or, you can manually delete a few balloons from sheet 1 and create on sheet 2.

* Select the partslist - Settings- Parts list - Reference symbol text = none
( "None" does NOT allow reference balloons, the other options will.)
- the "reference balloons option" "might"... create more balloons than you asked for.

There is a Windows environment variable which you must set in case you want to be able to create multiple parts list in the same part.
I do not remember the variable but if you try add another P-List, NX will show this variable.

IIRC, you cannot use the autoballoon function if there are multiple parts lists on the drawing.
