      Hi all

      Does anyone know of a plugin that will add numbered balloons to every part in an assembly and tie up with an automated Bill of Materials (parts list). It would be great if this could happen also with an exploded view? I'm just running the freebie version at the moment, so I don't have access to Layout. Any thoughts on this would be very welcome. I've tried some searchs in SketchUcation and Google but have turned up nothing other that parts list?

      Thanks for showing an interest.

      😄

        first time : exploded view

        have you seen the next plugin :
        Eclate_Deplace (fragmentation-exploded view)

        http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?t=24390

        second time : part list

        if you open the component window and select list instead of thumbs , you will have a part list
        ( you should have made a component with all parts )

          Chri's suggestions are sound, but it doesn't get over the 'labeling' issue...
          If you give the components names relating to part-refs then when you manually add a Text object pointing to one of them then by default it should show its name as the initial text-string ?
          It would be possible to code something to add text at every instance with its definition name etc, but try it manually first off...
