Question

Set default for multiple repeat regions

I have a multi-sheet assembly drawing where I have several projected views on one sheet and an exploded view on another sheet. The projected view balloons are driven off one repeat region and the exploded view balloons are driven off a second repeat region. Everything works fine but I find it incredibly annoying and extremely time consuming that I need to pick the repeat region before I pick and place the balloon when more than one repeat region exists in the drawing. Is there a way to set the default repeat region for balloons so it doesn't continue to ask you to pick the repeat region each time?

I also cannot see a way to make a repeat region "active."  Would be nice to be able to set one to active. 

 

Either way you will need to be careful to ensure the correct repeat region is used for the correct view if you are using a duplicated BOM's.  With a duplicated BOM, I am able to put a BOM balloon from two different repeat regions on one view.

There is always more to learn.

I realize this thread is over a year old, but just on the same note -

 

if there are 2 repeat regions on the same drawing sheet and also there are some balloons on the drawing views, is it possible to identify which repeat region  the existing balloons are using? (e.g. if the baloons were created by another person). 

 

For example, repeat region 1 is sorted by column1 and repeat region 2 is sorted by column 2, so the same item has different ID in those two regions. I want to be able to identify which repeat region is each balloon using, without guestimating through manual identification of each item

 

Thank you
