All configurations reference the same cut list for creating balloons. Balloon numbers remain associative to the cut list, even if they are created in another view.
A balloon attached to a body in a drawing view of the entire weldment and a balloon attached to the same body in a drawing view showing only the body have the same item number.
If you insert AutoBalloons into a drawing view of a weldment and the drawing does not contain a cut list, you are prompted whether you want to create a cut list.
If you delete a cut list, all balloons related to the cut list change their Item Number to 1.
