Link welding bill of materials with bubbles on part

Hi all

I am currently in the process of drawing a mechanically welded part.
The problem I have is during drawing, I want to identify the welds that I defined during the 3D design. Here is an example of the welds:

I agree that it's a bit of a mess.

But the problem comes in the drawing:

I would like to have the same bubble as when identifying parts in an assembly.
This would save me from doing a manual bubbling.

Thank you in advance for your answers.

Hello;
Use the automatic bubble associated with this table:

Or if you want to keep the same display as on the 3d (Annotation View):

The problem is that when I use the automatic bubble, it tells me that there is no " cut list".

Do I need to select something else?

I think you need to update the list of welded parts in your 3D.
What happens if you click " Yes "?

He gives me the list of the elements of the room.

Otherwise;
In the imports of the model objects, add:

Perfect! It's a nice mess but I already have something on display:

The only problem is that it's not related to the nomenclature

… According to my research I think it's not possible ... but I'm not an expert in Mechanically Welded Drawings...
But it's a good start.

So the best that can be done is to have the welding nomenclature on one side and the display of the welds on the drawings without it being related to the nomenclature?

It would seem that, at the moment, this is unfortunately the case... :frowning_face:
