BOM ballons issue

[gvillegas]

Iam currently runnin in WF 2.0. and I am running into a glitch with the BOM ballons, I created a the repeat region and added ballons, all of them appear correctly but I notice some of them did not allow me to change the attachment point, later I notice the row in the BOM was not high-lighted when clicking on the ballon and finally when I regenerate the drawing those balloon disappear from the drawing.

Any idea on how to fix this???

Thanks

What parameters do you have in your BOM?

 

[gvillegas]

I have a very simple BOM with index, level , part number, descrciption and qty.


notice that I click on 4 balloons but only one BOM row is highlighted

Check the parameters "description" or " "part number" to see it any are the same. If these are the same for anyfiles that are different Pro/E gets severely confused. My guess is some combination of three of those balloons have the same description but are different files.

Actually they are the same model, but different instances so they havea different part number but same description. I have use this model in other drawings and never had a problem like this.

Why you didn't have problems before I'm not sure, but different instances will cause the same problem. To fix this, add the parameter in the family table and make all the changes in description there and the different instances will show up as different lines numbers.


FYI - To add a parameter in a family table is pretty simple; click add column, then select parameter, description, etc.
