Can not auto Balloon an ipn View? Inventor 2012

I can not auto balloon an ipn view in a idw file? I can select the view to auto balloon but can not select any parts.

Anyone else seeing this?

I think I know why now. You can't have any balloons in your idw on any view before using Auto-Balloon.

That's OK because I don't like Auto-Balloon anyway. Where it attaches the arrows to the parts is very random and I have to reposition them anyway.

Yep that is true no balloons can be on iam or ipn when auto ballooning.

 

 

You never said you had balloons already.

I cannot even select a view when trying to auto-balloon my .ipn, and I have no balloons placed yet. My BOM is on page 3 and references the .iam I created the .ipn from, while the exploded view is on page 1. Could this be why?
