Problem

When multiple drawing views exist, it is important that their balloons display the same numbers for the same parts. This article goes over how to link Balloons in a SOLIDWORKS drawing to the Bill of Materials (BOM).

Solution

  1. Right-click on the drawing view and select "Properties"
Select Properties

  1. In the Balloons section at the bottom, check "Link balloon text to specified table" and select the BOM from the dropdown

    Select BOM to link Balloons to
  2. Click "OK" to finish linking the Ballons to the BOM

After clicking OK, the drawing views that are linked to a particular BOM should display the same balloon numbers for the same parts.
