custom bom

[laurajt]

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!
