autoballoon issue

autoballoon issue

(OP)
Hi,

I wonder if you could help me. Imagine that you have a drawing with balloons according to the parts list. It will only show one balloon for every component type. Is it somehow possible to change the settings so, that it would show all the occurences of the current part?
I am using NX 4.02
Thanks for help

not good :o(

 

RE: autoballoon issue

Now there's nothing stopping you from going into the other views (which I assume is the issue here) and manually add as many ID balloons (don't worry about the callout value, just leave it blank) as needed (once in the ID Symbol dialog, it takes only 2 picks per ID balloon to select the component and place it).  Once done, go back up and select/highlight the parts list, press MB3 and select the 'Update Parts List' item and the new ID balloons will automatically be populated with the proper item callout letter/number.
