Balloons on sheet #2 (details) need to match Sheet #1 BOM
Balloons on sheet #2 (details) need to match Sheet #1 BOM
(OP)
SWX 2006 SP 5.0
I have an assembly and its BOM on sheet #1.
Sheets #2-9 (within same drw file) have dimensioned details for that assembly on them.
I want to be able to put a balloon on each detail sheet and have the number in that balloon read the same as on the Assembly BOM from Sheet #1. I do not want to go and put a hidden BOM on each and every detail sheet.
Is this possible?
Thanks

Right click on the view and select keep linked to BOM and set the BOM to link to in the drop down. Is that what you are looking for. I get the impression you are trying to do something else.

I had tried that on the second sheet but the only option in 'BOM to link to' is <none>. When I do that same thing on sheet #1 a 'Bill of Materials2' is an option. If I DO check the box anyway and put a balloon on the detail, it reads #1. There is another detail on that page and when I balloon that one, it also shows #1 in the balloon.
