How to mass-reformat callout balloons after update?

CorvinCorvin Member Posts: 5 PRO

I need to make two versions of all of my assembly drawings, each with different formatting for the callout balloons. Unfortunately, you can't select multiple balloons and edit them simultaneously. However, you used to be able to insert a balloon with the desired formatting on top of the old balloon, and it would replace the old callout while keeping the position and leader (important, since these are very carefully arranged to look neat and professional for use on our website). However, since the latest update, the balloons stack instead, and there seems to be no way to replace the balloons anymore. I tried stacking the new balloon and deleting the first one, but that just breaks the callout instead of replacing it. Does anybody know of another solution, or do I have to either edit each balloon one at a time to have the shape/size/properties I need or delete the old callouts and replace and reposition them all by hand?

    As of August 28, replacing balloons is working again for me. Maybe it was just a bug.
