Hi guys,
is it normal for the callout not to be anchored to the part?
That callout that I see highlighted I can move anywhere and the number always remains the same.
It would help to anchor that callout and make it fixed for that part.

Usually the arrowhead is attached to the part, but is is possible to drag it away into free space. You can re-attach it by dragging it to the part edge (when NOT in balloon callout mode).

I noticed that if I detach the callout because maybe I want to reposition it better and by mistakenly attaching it again I hook the nearby piece, the number doesn't change. Can anyone else confirm this error?

If it can be useful, selecting a piece with the ctrl key pressed, the piece is displayed in the tree.
This only works if you have an assembly of only parts and with a maximum number of pieces occupying the program window because you don't go directly to the selected piece, but you will have to scroll through the tree.

If arrowhead gets detached, might be best to delete the callout and re-create it, to make sure of getting correct number.

Ok, thanks David.

To my amazement, I have only now seen that once the bend has been created on a sheet metal, it cannot be changed. This decision seems a bit limiting to me.

Do you know if in the future there will be the possibility to change the parameters?

 

[DavidJ]

Check the 'enable sketch parameters' box - then try again.

 

[Marco-IT]

Sorry David, where can i find this setting?

 

[DavidJ]

Just to the left of the red ellipse in your 'flange' image.

I was looking for it in the general program options.

Thanks again David.
