Simplified Reps and BOM Balloons

Mornin',

I think I already know the answer to this but here goes. I have a large assembly drawing. There needs to be many partial views to show all of the components. This results in very long regeneration times redrawing all the views. So I decided to try using simplified reps that had just the components I need in each partial view. That works great except the BOM balloons from the Master Rep BOM can not be shown on the Simplified Rep views.

Is there a way around this? I saw the discussion Friday about faking geo tags and could not agree more that PTC needs to get the drawing module updated. It is the most aggravating part of Pro/E.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Bill,

The way I do it is to have drawing views with all parts and then blank
components by simp rep, this way you just have the master rep bom.

Hope this helps.
