Weldment cut lists and balloons

[Jboggs]

I've been making weldment drawings in SW for 10 years. One painful, hard-learned lesson is that the configuration of the cut list and the configuration of any view with balloons must be the same for the balloon numbering to be correct. OK, got it. Now I'm working on a weldment that seems to violate that rule. The model has 22 pieces. The drawing has 3 sheets with various views, sections, machining details. The only way I can make the balloons show anything but "1" is to set the views to "As Machined" even though the cut list is set to "As Welded".

Can anyone explain this to me in a way I can remember for future reference? What's the secret? Thanks!

Hi, Jboggs:

I don't see any issues that you mentioned. Balloons should be automatic if you do what you said in modelling.

Best regards,
