Hi,
I have a question about BOM Balloons..
We use Wildfire 4.0 and we have many drawings which represent assemblies with multiple instances. We are trying to do something different with our BOM tables and are struggling to make it work.
One particular drawing we are working on represents an assembly which has two instances, which are identical save for a single part which exists in one instance of the assembly and not the other.
We are trying to create a BOM table which has two Quantity columns in order to be able to differentiate the two instances of the assembly at a glance.
We have tried inserting a column, setting it up as a rpt.qty column and assigning it to the secondary instance of the assembly, and this does exactly what we want it to do with regard to the table itself. However, whenever we do this, the BOM ballons vanish and they will not re-populate.
Is there a workaround for this, or at any rate a way to automatically populate BOM balloons with this multiple configuration BOM table?
Thanks,
