BOM Update Issues SW08

BOM Update Issues SW08

(OP)
Has anybody had issues with SW 08/07 not updating balloons properly when there are multiple BOM's on a drawing on different sheets? We had an issue this afternoon where there was a bom on each of two sheets of a SLDDRW. something about that caused the balloons to go wonky, and even after deleting the second BOM I still had to manually relink all of the drawings to the remaining BOM before the problem was solved.

RE: BOM Update Issues SW08

Hello,

We have seen from time to time issues with BOMs not updating, usually pressing CTRL-Q (forced regen) fixes the problem.

cheers,

I've found that forcing the regen only works after all the views have been manually linked to a single BOM, even if there are multiple in the DWG. Apparently multiple BOM's confuses SW's automatic assignation of balloons.
