Did something change with Generic Burst?

I seem to recall being able to Burst Dimensions and AutoLabels in Layout Mode but now I cannot select them separate from the Model. Instead, the Burst function selects (and bursts) the entire Instance. This is no good and prevents me from modifying Autolabels (which is necessary when dimensioning Metric holes in an Inch file 🙄). What am I missing?

When created in Model mode the Auto-label cannot be bursted. Francis Marcoux IPEX Technologies Latest KC version Reply \| Quote \| Subscribe to post

🤦‍♂️

Thank you Francis, much appreciated.

So far my plan of attack has been to: create a second Instance, Label the Feature in that Instance, Generic Burst that entire Instance and then move the Label to the original instance, delete the Burst entities that are no longer needed and finally edit the Label. THAT is a lot of extra and unecessary work. 👎
