Can I associate item number from BOM to the detail drawing of the part
Can I associate item number from BOM to the detail drawing of the part
(OP)
I have an assembly drawing with the parts ballooned. The balloon number is the Item No. in the BOM. Then I go and make the detail drawing of the part, and would like to have that balloon number referenced in the title block.
Can I do this and if so how?

If you need to renumber the BOM, you would have to update the part dwg.
I don't know of another way.
I suggest let the assy BOM tell which parts to use, then show "Next Assy xxxx" on the part dwg.

The balloon/item number is just a simple reference to a line in the BOM. Nothing more. Trying to use the balloon/item number elsewhere just makes things more complicated. The part already has a description and part number, and the sheet usually uses both.

No, you can not. I completely agree with CorBlimeyLimey. A part has no item number. Only an assembly drawing has an item number for the part that belongs to the assembly.
I do not see a reason to put item number into the detail drawing of the part. If the same item is used in different assemblies, it will have different item number.
Best regards,
