flexible part balloon problem

Sorry about the re-post, but I never got any help with this problem:

I understand that BOM balloon for several of the same flexible components won't show up. But now when I create a non-associative balloon for them, I go to fix the index record for them and Pro/E says it can't for that particular item. What do I do if I add parts later and forget that my one balloon needs to manually be changed each time?

Thanks in advance, Jason

I am using Wildfire 2.0 Datecode M100. Was this problem fixed in newer versions???

No. I'm running 140 & it still doesn't work. I first encountered this with rev 18, so don't hold your breath. Balloons also fail to appear if you use family tables to assemble more than one instance of an object. (What we used to have to do before flexible components)

To avoid possible miss - labelling, (wrong data being worse than no data, and all that) we don't create 'dumb' balloons, and leave the occaisional unlabelled component with a note instead.
