    Custom BOM Balloons

    So our standard parametric BOM balloon is a custom balloon... it has the index number (index) on top and the part number (asm.mbr.number) on the bottom. I got this working just fine for conventional models and drawings. Sometimes, we have imported wire diagrams inserted on our drawings which...

    BOM Relations
