    Fixing-together BOM chart and isometric view?

    Copy/cut-Paste could break the links of the BOM with the model but since you do not have the it anymore and the drawing is "dead" then there will be no problem in doing this. Unfortunately you can not set a positional link between a table and a view. Good luck.
