Why the BOM no longer shows bubbled parts

Hello, we have changed the type of bubbles in our set drawings. Before, the balloons were linked to the article number, now to the plan number which comes from the custom properties. With this new bubble version, the BOM no longer indicates whether or not the parts are bubbled in the plane.

Why does the BOM no longer indicate the bubbled parts? Do you have a setting to act on?

On the PJ you can see the old and new bubbles as well as the nomenclature. The old bubbles are circled in red on the map, and in the nomenclature the bubble presence indicators.

We are working SW 2015 SP5

Thank you

The balloon icon in the BOM is the default classic bubble.

It is not present if the balloon refers to a custom property value.

Maybe there is a procedure to make these little icons appear anyway.

I am waiting for the answers to this question.

There is a utility that does this type of job

See smartballoons

Hello

Thank you for your answers, I have another question:

To get around this problem, is there a macro that can compare the numbers in the balloons and those in the nomenclature? So that we can obtain a litse of the missing bubbles. Knowing that the balloon and BOM numbers both come from the same custom property and therefore have exactly the same text.

I don't think so

since the number of the balloons is subject to change

since the increment is done via the selection

You can have bubble number 1 that gives you a coin X 

but if you change your part x or remove it
