    Anybody else seeing some LIGHTWEIGHT parts not populating all the fields
    of an Excel based BOM in assembly drawings, until the parts are Resolved
    in the Assembly file? I get a handful of parts that repeatedly do not
    display their 'DESCRIPTION', every time I open the drawing, I have to
    open the assy and resolve or dig thru the assy and find the offending
    parts... just to make a print!

    The original Assy was made back in 2003 or so, migrated and revised
    since, with about 195 unique parts...

    Waiting patiently<not> for the next SP...

    Have the same problem, and with the SW BOM as well. To solve it, until
    a SP is released, im opening all drawings as resolved. In the BOMs, I
    also have a problem with the BOM positions numbering and the ballons
    positions arent the same, here I have to open the assy and reorder 1
    component, to trigger a rebuild, so the BOM positions are refering to
    the correct ballon numbering. Dont know if there is a solution for this
    as well?

    Glad to hear I'm not alone... if the assy weren't so large I'd send it off to
    the reseller
