Drawing BOM's Now Show Balloons

Hello all,
I am not sure if this was an addition in 2011 but I have never seen it before and no one in my office knew about it either. When you have a SW BOM on your drawing you can do the expand and will now see which BOM items have balloons and which ones do not. It will not identify where on the drawing they are only that the balloon exists or not. For me this is a big time savings as some of my drawings have over 100 balloons. I have included a pic to show what I am describing and I hope others find this a big help as I have.

Regards,
PD

That functionality has been around since at least 2007.

If 2007 is the case, I have been doing the hard way for a very long time :(

Not only that, you can see a itty bitty picture of the part as you float over the items.
