Multiple balloons for same part

[Texas_Drafter]

i need to place a bom balloon for one part in 2 different views. wildfire 2.0 will not let me do this. the previous drafstman had balloons on this part in 2 different views but in the section view i had to move the part and change the section view so i lost that balloon and now i cant get it back on there. how do i place the balloon in 2 different views.

Are you refering to adding Reference balloon? (BOM Balloons > Add Ref Balloon.)

no my ref balloons have ref under them. the balloon she had on here in 2 different views were both bom balloons as far as i could tell.

You can split Balloons. Check out this tutorial on BOM and Repeat Regions where he splits Ballons. Not sure if this will work with a 2 page Drawing. Let us know if it works.

**EDIT** It is also possible to add a Balloon to a view that is not tied to a BOM table with REF under it.

ok i tried that and it didnt work. i think the problem is this is only 1 part. i have it in a front view looking straight at it with a bom balloon on it. then i have a section view next to that view to show the location of that same part from the side and i need a bom balloon on it to. it is a quantity of one so it wont let me split. we dont put quantities on our balloons anyway they are all listedin the bom. any more ideas.

I understand what you are trying to do but I think that violates drafting rules.


I think only way you can achive this is by creating a custom balloon that won't be parametric.

You could add another "extra" table, and ad the balloon from there?


Not a nice solution but ...
