Just started to use 2009. I have opened an assembly drawing and the BOM is having issues. Specifically I use the split balloons. The top with the item number shows correctly, but the lower with the QTY is showing "BOM Error?" . Anyone having the same issue? Or any ideas how to fix. I even deleted the BOM Which then showed the correct QTY, created the BOM in the assembly itself and imported that. After the import it showed the error again.

We just went 2009 and are now having the same problem with our split balloons that have the quantity. Did you ever get an answer or fix?

  Which service pack are you using. I do not use the Split balloons that much but when I have used them I have not had any problems. I am running SP3.0 x64.

      I wonder if SP4.1 created that problem. Also, are you creating the BOM inside the drawing or importing from an assembly. Check your drawing settings, under Tables -> Bill of Materials. The only option I have checked at the bottom is Automatic update of BOM. Do you have any of the other options checked?

        My settings are the same. Only option checked is Automatic Update.

Try linking the view to a named bom:
select the view,
click on the <more properties> button,
then set the option 'link balloon text to specified BOM' and pick the desired bom. even if there is only one in the drawing.

(Worked for me).

  That did fix it. Not quite sure what causes the bug but that did repair it.
