drawing tree

(OP)
Is there a way to create a block diagram drawing tree, that maintains associativity with the assembly?

RE: drawing tree

Up to a point, that I can think of.  

I'll assume you're talking about a family tree done in Solid Edge, not a BOM report or similar.

You can use 'property text' to dynamically call up the title & part number etc. of the parts in the assy.  Within 'callout' it's the button bottom left.

What you can do about automating the format of the 'tree' I'm not so sure.

RE: drawing tree

I once did this (about V5 or 6) by copying and pasting Parts Lists from the individual assembly drawings onto a master drawing, then adding leader lines manually.
The parts lists retained their link to the original models, even though there was no view of the model on the sheet.
I don't know if this will still be the case with latest versions.
