Hi all
We have just recently upgraded from WF3 to WF4.
If I remember correctly, in Wildfire 3 Reference BOM balloons could be modified to attach to multiple instances of the same part on an assembly drawing.
This does't appear to be possible in Wildfire 4, am I correct?
Is there an alternative method for doing this other than creating the Balloon manually? I would like the balloon to update if/when the repeat region changes.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Hi all
I haven't had a response from the user community on this one yet but I'm still hoping.
In the interim I spoke with PTC who confirmed for me that this functionality WAS available up to and including Wildfire 3 - this I already knew as some of my users had benefitted from it. Then PTC continued to tell me that this functionality was removed from Wildfire 4 onwards. The only alternative is to create a manual BOM balloon which defeats the purpose as it will not update the index number if/when the repeat region is changed.
To get the functionality back I'll have to raise an 'enhancement'...amazing.
Sometimes I do wonder why we bother?
Neal,
Agreed...why do we bother at times.
When I hear of things like this (have been for decades now) I envision a big colorful, spinning, New version, CAD function enhancementcategory wheel in the PTC development room. You know, like the ones you see at a carnival to see what prize you will win.
I see function categories like:
Yes
No
Maybe
Just kidding
