Placing item numbers via "callout" does not work in parts

I wanted to place the item numbers on an assembly drawing, but this time it doesn´t work, no matter what I try.
On the one item it works, on the other it doesn´t work, and that is true on all sheets of the drawing, for all configurations.

The configuration of the drawing view is the same as in the parts list, and it doesn´t make a difference if I place the item number on a surface or on an edge, if I place it in a view that is cut or not, I tried anything, believe me... it simply doesn´t work, and it´s the same problem on every sheet in this drawing.



Is this a known problem, does anyone have a clue how to solve this problem?

    Assuming the part itself is indeed showing up in your table, I think the issue might be the "BOM table reference" field in the bottom of the view property, you have to make sure it points to the "correct" thing (i.e the table that has the part in it).
    Setting the view to the same configuration may not be enough (that part is a bit confusing...)

    Hi @eric_pesty , thanks a lot!
    Your suggestion worked perfectly, that was the reason why it didn´t work!
    Didn´t know there was a possibilitiy to change the configuration in this place...
