bulk item balloons? |
|

How do you get a balloon for a bulk item? All the newsgroup posts I had are
gone, otherwise I'd search for it. Seems like this has been answered
before.

Well, I googled it on comp.cad.pro-engineer and no hits. This is MUCH undiscussed.
Stuff that turns up regularly in NG traffic is likely a widespread problem; stuff
that does not is likely an anomaly.
But, I suppose that kind of statistical approach is not very satisfying.
Generally, they show up with a quantity of one, in the BOM (but they do show up!);
the balloon, on the other hand, may be more difficult: balloons usually like to
attach to something. And, since there is no physical geometry of a bulk item ~ no
actual, phyical part to attach to ~ it just might not show as a balloon.
Also, other things, such as a sort order to exclude a component, or a table
relation, could be used to 'suppress' a part from the table (and the BOM
balloons).

T Bennett, sorry bulk items can't be shown as balloons. It's a draw bakc and as I see it a big flaw with the whole BOM and it's workings. You can create a symbol and but them in that way, but they won't tie to the BOM.
I use my bulk items as 900 numbers, this way the chances of them mixing or changing with the rest of my find numbers are few.
Hope this helps, Glenn |B)

You can't do it.
Also, they don't like their indexes being fixed. Sometimes the fixed indexes
will stay fixed, other times they will revert back. It's a bit random.

Thanks, I'm currently using a custom symbol.
