We have assemblies where the same part (M10 flat washer, for example)
appears in more than one location.
When making the assembly drawing by default they all lump together. I
would like to split a quantity in the BOM and also provide a different
fixed index (balloon number) for each group.
I tried looking in the help and came up short. I will be happy to
hear from the group if this is possible and how. Wildfire4.

I think it is not possible with "fix index.
I do it but I had customized the repeat region table and the baloon with
thic parameter
&asm.mbr.cparam.POSITION
In this way you need add manually each index (position) but the same item
can have different index

Hi David,
in your "Table Region" menu you must select "duplicates" this will
allow mulitple quantities. you probably have it set for "no
duplicates" if your unable to get to this menu.
i would suggest you add a balloon by the new fastener by
"comp" (component)

The advice to set the Dups attribute is correct but needs a caution. Doing this is pervasive throughout the current assembly level (i.e. it doesn't spread into sub assemblies). But it can instantly increase the number of BOM items from a few dozen to hundreds or thousands. So your BOM item 5 which lists 50 in the summarized, "no dups" form, will now have 50 BOM items, and so on through the entire list. This applies also to BOM balloons. Each item instance, whether visible or not will get a balloon 'attached' to it. And true to your wishes, each will have the BOM's Find number. But there'll be 50 of them to deal with and that "no dups" quantity for each summarized item.
You could do what you're looking for, without the individual Find numbers, by simply doing Create Balloon, picking another instance of the part, then selecting the quantity to assign. You can do this as many times as you wish, on views on any sheet, until you exhaust the total or you don't have a balloon readily available to borrow from. Getting balloons from one view to another or from one sheet to another can get pretty tricky but that's another story.
