Well without the data I cannot test here it may just be a bad IDW file some how it may have been corrupted.

Steve,
Could you post the files here or share them with me? The behavior you describes does not sound right.
Thanks!

Sorry about that but the files are quite large. One thing I did notice is that anything within one sub-assembly will not balloon. Everything else works.

Oops! I forgot to mention that the solution to my issue was that I couldn't balloon the sub-assemby because when I went to balloon the .idw I didn't select "PARTS ONLY".
