BOM and balloons in a drawing
Insert BOM
Begin Ballooning

- Drawing with sub assemblies and components.
BOM properties:
- Upper level selected

When attaching baloons the baloon numbers assigned to Assembly (parts) as
though individual component, rather than sub assembly number. (if I
described it right.

EG:

An assembly with 5 sub assemblies and 10 individual components.
Each subassembly has greater than 10 components, including subs.

The BOM lists 15 items

selecting an item to balloon, from a view, and the baloon number comes up
35. I.m expecting something like 12.

I can make it work by checking and unchecking the various BOM properties
options - Upper level Assemblies", "Parts" and back again.


Question:

Is this a bug or is there a setting I can configure.


Thanks in Advance

JV

Questions.

1. What SP?
2. SW BOM, or Excel BOM?
3. Is it just one particular assy, or any assy?
4. Have you tried a different drawing template?

Aha!

That gives me and idea. I'll give it a try and respond back here.

Well, that wasn't it.
The problem persists using any template.
(BOM groups correctly while the balloon numbers group for a momemt and
revert back to ungrouped numbering.)

Are you ballooning the same view as has the BOM attached? I don't use the
SW BOM so I'm speaking from a bit of ignorance, but with the Excel BOM, if
you are ballooning a view that is tied to a different configuration than the
view tied to the BOM, you often get strange results.

Yes, Balooning from the same view.
However, that gave me a thought. So I checked the congfiguration on that
view. Sure enough, not the same as what I had checked in the BOM
propderties.

That's done it.
I'm good now.

Thanks for the help.
