BOM balloons, 1 part in diff views

[Texas_Drafter]

I need to place multiple balloons on the same part in different views for clarity for our welders. wildfire 2.0 will only allow me to place one bom balloon per part. is there a setting i can change that will allow me to place the balloon on the same part in several differnet views. i know i can use either ref or note balloons but do not want to do it this way beacause the balloon number will not change is i make a change to the bom.thanks.

I don't know of a setting that allows this. Hopefully someone else does.

In the meantime, you could add an identical repeat region table off your page and use it to add parametric balloons

The RR BOM # may just be a note. If you can determine that note name/value then you can possibly plug that in for the created BOM ballon. It should then update on all the other pages. It may not allow that though due to ISO/ANSI drawing standards built into Pro/e.


If you only want certain items from the RR on a specific page of the drawing here is a solution for that.

ok i want to try the extra bom method on the side of the drawing to see if it will work. the problem is i dont know how to do that. the setup we have was done by someone else before i was here and i had to self teach myself to even use the program. she had setup title blocks and all that so it automatically generates the bom. can you give me some help with inserting another bom?

any ideas of where i can get to the reference_bom_balloon_text setting?

I think you can just copy the table/repeat region and paste it.
