The problem with this message is usually that the 'highlighted' quantity =
balloon is on another sheet and the brilliant authors of Pro/e are =
mocking you by graying out the change sheet icon. IOW, you can't get to =
the quantity balloon to select it. Cute, huh!?! Here's a way to out fox =
them:=20
1.. find out what the component/find number is that you're trying to =
place; you may have to go back to the model to identify the component, =
then look up its find number in the BOM
2.. if you have created an itial view to place all the balloons on, =
locating the correct item balloon should be easy since there will be one =
balloon per item when you've placed them all 'by view'
3.. select the relevant balloon, then RMB 'Move item to view': this =
DOES let you change sheets so go to the sheet that needs the balloon and =
pick the view
4.. do 'Table>BOM balloons>Create' again; now you'll have available =
the balloon to take the quantity from
5.. for housekeeping purposes, you can reverse the 'Move item to view' =
and put the balloon back where it came from, or, for that matter, move =
it to any relevant view. And if you don't know what sheet/view is =
relevant, you can just keep moving the balloon until it alights on =
something clearly relevant.
