(OP)
I am looking for advice on how to set up a BOM table with nested repeat regions.  I would like to be able to have the sub assy level parts have either their own index number or have a sub index designation i.e.:

Item    Desc      Sub Item     Desc    Qty

  1     Item One                                 1
                           1a   Sub Item One   2
                           1b   Sub Item Two   4
  2     Item Two
                           2a   Sub Item One   2
                           2b   Sub Item Two   1
 
or

Item    Desc      Sub Item     Desc    Qty

  1     Item One                                 1
                           2   Sub Item One    2
                           3   Sub Item Two    4
  4     Item Two
                           5   Sub Item One    2
                           6   Sub Item Two    1

In either case, I need to be able to Show balloons for each item, including the sub items on a top level assembly drawings.  Is this possible?  If so, how would I set up the first table?  TIA!
