Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED ON CATIA VERSION
  5 RELEASE 18 GA level.
  .
  Incident Diagnosis
  Balloon creation only on one instance fails with the
  option part number and instance name. Even if one
  deactivates "Creation of a balloon for each
  instance of a product", several balloons are
  generated (with part number/instance name
  option) for the view in drawing
  .
  Correction Explanation
  Earlier "Creation of a balloon for each instance of
  a product" option was available only Numbering
  option in Tools/Option/Drafting/Annotation & Dress
  Up - Section "Balloon Generation. Now its being
  applied to options Part Number and Instance Name
  as well.
  Answer and By-Pass
  .
  Additional information
  The correction is also available in V5R17 SP01 level.
