Anyone out there know how to change the size of the Reference Balloons in Pro/E Wildfire 3? Thanks

You will find there are two items in your options regarding your balloon size. One item specifies a certain size balloon, and the other specifies a minimum size.
Hope this helps.
 
These are set in your detail config (.dtl) file.
min_balloon_radius
max_balloon_radius
When these are set to 0.0, text size will control the balloon size.

Thanks to both, SrGilberto and looslib. Both of you are describing how to set the radius for the BOM balloon which are parameter driven, but the REF balloons seem to be set only by the text size. What I've found is to double click the reference balloon and set the height to .12. This does change the text height, but our lead has OKAYed the fix. Thanks guys.
