OK so my colleagues and i have been trying to figure this out for a while now. It seems like we can get halfway there but not all the way. The situation is a stacked set of hardware, washer, lock washer, screw. We want on leader going to the head of the screw and multiple balloons merged showing the bom order (1)(6)(15)-----> something like that. It also had to be able to automatically update from the bom. I know i can manually input the balloons by going into the text block and typing in the number then hitting enter and repeating thus giving me my desired appearance of merged balloons. But there not linked to the bom. I can change the bom balloon format to show quantity balloons and i can merge them and they will update. But i can't use quantity balloons. Confused? i am? any thoughts?
