Problem

This article goes over how to resolve Drawing Balloons showing a Question Mark (?). This can happen because the Balloon Leader is not attached to the Part or Component. It can also occur when a sub-assembly is dissolved in a top-level assembly, so only Components remain.

Solution 1: Drag Balloon Leader

Reattach the Balloon to the correct Part/Component or create a new Balloon (Insert > Annotations > Balloon). Reattaching the Balloon can be done with the following steps:
