Hello, I have an assembly that contains several instances of the same part. As these parts have different functions, I named them differently in the assembly (they're all the same file, just different names). We're now talking of a drawing of the entire assy. In the BOM of the assembly, I'd like to not just see a line that says I need ten times that or that part, but I'd like to have each part listed separately with its name and associated balloon. What I'd like even more is a note that I can manually attach to each part which calls out that part's name. The given name that is, not the file name. Any way to do this in SW2005? Thanks, --Daniel

The only way I can think of doing this would be to have a configuration for each of the different names you want to show. Give the configuration name the name that you want to show in the BOM and also toggle the option to use the configuration name for the description in the BOM. Then you should be able to link a note back to the configuration name
Yeah, I came up with that, too, but it's too cumbersome and no less error-prone than assigning the notes by hand and double-checking everything. --Daniel
