Is there a way to make the numeric ballons alpha? I use SW 2004.

Thanks

Not that I know of. The balloon shows the item number similar to an assy BOM. Alpha/numeric notations are normally only used for hole types.

Submit an ER if this is important to your company.

Either pointing to a Custom File Property (which you'll have to manually set up), or manually changing each balloon.

Also I think on an Excel Driven BoM you can edit the value for the Item Number in the table, and that same value will be shown in the Balloon.

Either way definitely not automatic.
