Table question in drawing mode

[GrahameWard]

I have a drawing sheet with an exploded 3D view of an assembly and balloons linking it back to a customized BOM table. I have also created a second general view of the same model that is a left side sectional view, on the same sheet. I want to show the same balloons referencing back to the same table, on both views. In other words 2 balloons per component, one on each view. Anyone know how I can do that?

You'll prolly have to buy Solidworks. Just kidding. I have no idea, but I couldn't control myself.

Well, using Wildfire means I could probably make the transition pretty easily.

This is not a pretty solution, but you could place another table outside the border and put a repeat region on that one to balloon from it as well. You must make sure that both tables match each other or your find numbers will be wrong. The only other way to multi balloon a part is if that part is used more than once in the assembly. Oh and watch out for those big assemblies in SolidWorks. Regards Eric

I found a work around whereby I create a ref balloon, then set the dtl option "reference_bom_balloon_text" to " ". The the word Ref doesn't appear below the balloon. It's a dumb way to do it though.

That is a parametric balloon symbol. You can use custom balloons that are tied to the repeat region.

sounds long winded, you can switch it off under the bom balloon tab in table properties. this might be a new feature maybe.
