Item balloons not migrated correctly via CMM 7.5.2

Item balloons not migrated correctly via CMM 7.5.2 Description of problem:

I-deas drawings containing a BOM and associated item balloons, are not migrated to NX (via CMM 7.5.2) in the same format as the were in I-deas.

The item balloons in Ideas had the 'Balloon Type' set to 'None', so that no geometry is created around the balloon text. The balloon leader option was set to 'No Leader', so that no stub was added to the leader line.

When migrated via CMM 7.5.2 to NX, the identification symbols created have a circle around them rather than no geometry. This is a particular problem for the customer because the ID Symbol text is the Part Number, so a large circle is created.

The ID symbol leader also has a stub (with zero length), rather than being created 'Without Stub'.

The CMM process should create the same appearence in NX as in I-deas if the same formatting options are not available. In some cases the added circles cross over geometry and other ID symbol, making the drawing more dificult to read.

How to reproduce the problem:

1. Migrate supplied I-deas package file to NX using CMM 7.5.2.

2. Open the resulting drawing (xxx.prt) in NX, and open sheet 'Main'.

3. Use the 'Drawing Layout On/OFF' option on the 'Drawing Migration' Toolbar to display the embedded CGM file of the I-deas drawing.

Note the large circles around the ID symbol text, and the positions of the leader lines.

The ID symbols cannot be modified to remove the circle.
