ecshclark Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Instead of creating a BOM and ballooning the drawing there are times when I prefer to use a leader noting the description and part number of an item. I will insert a leader, and using the Format Text dialog box select "Properties-Model" that is under the "Type" heading. I'll then insert the properties "DESCRIPTION", and "PART" or any other property I wish to show in the leader text. This works great for models. But what if you have a sub-assembly? I see nothing that say's "Properties-Assembly". The leader attaches to model object line and always lists that model, even if it resides in a sub-assembly. The scroll through selector doesn't make a difference. Is there something I'm missing? Or is this feature just missing? The parts list and balloons will list sub-assemblies, why not leaders? Does anyone have a work around, program to do this? Quote

ecshclark Posted June 28, 2013 Author Posted June 28, 2013 I put this on the Augi Wish List. My last wish got implemented into 2013. Maybe this one will too! Quote
Bishop Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 At present, there is no workaround for this other than re-typing everything manually each time. Unfortunate, really - there's many places that I could use that functionality. Quote
