Using Balloon Numbers

Enabling Balloon Number Transfer

You can transfer Balloon numbers generated using Parts-List feature on SOLIDWORKS Drawing files to 3DEXPERIENCE. The balloon numbers are transferred to when a SOLIDWORKS drawing with Balloon numbers is saved. The balloon numbers are transferred to EBOM model from ENOVIA3DEXPERIENCE when an EBOM Sync is done from X-CAD Design Management.

For enabling the transfer of balloon numbers, the following mapping must be added to the relationship attribute MCADInteg-CADToMxRelAttribMapping in GCO:
CADDrawing,balloonnumbers|Associated Drawing,Balloon Numbers.
In SOLIDWORKS preferences, select the Copy Relationship check box in the Checkin section. For details on setting preferences, see Setting Preferences.
During Save, if the top SOLIDWORKS Drawing has more than one Parts List, then a message is displayed indicating that the multiple Parts-Lists exists and that the existing Parts-Lists must be consolidated to a single Parts-List.
If you are saving a design with assembly at the root, then Part List is not transferred because the drawing is not saved when assembly is at the root.
When there are multiple drawings connected to the same design, then the first drawing with a Part List is considered. All other drawings connected to the design are ignored.

Setting Up Balloon Number Synchronization to Find Number

You can synchronize the item numbers to find Numbers on EBOM relationship when you synchronize the EBOM.

Before you begin: To set up the transfer of item numbers to find numbers upon synchronization, mapping must be set for one of the following attributes:

IEF-EBOMSync-MandatoryRelAttrMapping
IEF-EBOMSync-RelAttrMapping

In the Matrix module, search for the required EBOM Sync Config object of type MCAD-EBOMSyncConfig.
Specify the following mapping in IEF-EBOMSync-MandatoryRelAttrMapping or IEF-EBOMSync-RelAttrMapping:
Associated Drawing|Balloon Numbers|EBOM|Find Number
