I have a top view from which I make a section view from. Looking at the help files and sources online I made a macro that adds in a weldment table and autoballoons the section view. The problem I'm having is that the autoballoons are not being created in my section view. As a test, I tried creating the autoballoons in the top view "Drawing View1" and it worked. I've also included the drawing file and part file if needed.
