Question

Reference Balloon [How to set different Item Numbers]

Hello,

One can change drawing properties option "reference_bom_balloon_text" which allows user to have different text for reference Balloon. Along with this, I would like to update item number inside this which seems impossible as rpt.index cannot be overwritten.

So, I would like to understand how one can change symbol being called when user clicks on Create Ref Balloons into drawing file.

Thanks in advance...

Regards

Ketan

The easiest way I have found to change the number of an item in the bill of materials is to re-order the items in the assembly. Easy enough as long as you do not have any dependencies among the components you want to move.

If you do a search engine inquiry with something like "Creo change order of items in bill of materials", you find that a possibility might be to use the

Table -> Repeat Region -> Fix Index

I've not used it but messages seem to indicate that this might be what you're looking for.
