Hi all, I am trying to add balloons (calling out part numbers) to a drawing of an assembly and it only lets me add balloons for the three sub-assemblies. Basically it only adds 3 balloons, (A, B, and C) for the sub-assemblies, to the drawing. If I try to annotate any individual parts it fills the balloon with the name of the corresponding sub-assembly. I've gotten it to add all the individual part names before, but now I don't remember what I did differently. I also need to know if it's possible to use a different bill of materials, to call out parts from. I know you can select the assembly when you select the bill of materials, so I assume that's the only way to do it, but I wanted to ask anyway. Thanks a lot, Bruno

Bruno, Basically its not possible in softwares, because as per programmer & program the detail view of a assembly only reads the Top level Assembly. My suggesion is to override the call outs of each component in sub-assemblies. Thanks & Regards, S.Karthikeyan
