Here is a little iLogic utility that filters the parts list on a drawing to only show the items that are ballooned.

Have a look at the animated GIF below:

The Code is available from the link below

    I am just curious of why shouldn't I use Parts List filter "Ballooned Only" and use the ilogic code?

    What are the benefits?

    Hi Adrian

    That's a great question! The idea with any of our iLogic code is to show people an alternative way of doing something, or even still a good way to automate a task.

    In this instance, this code could be quite useful if used as part of a drawing compliancy check.

    Hi,

    First off grate little tool works very well.

    only thing I have a concern with is i am using this to show part of an assembly for manufacturer to "kit up" so i would need the Qty. to be correct to all items in that view. is there a way to get the script to update Qty. to be correct to the view ?

    Kind Regards

    Hi Chris, this should not need any code, the qty is pulled directly from the model. So should be correct (Unless you have defer updates on)

    Hi, do you know, how change your script which do it in reverse order? I mean that when I do invisible rows in the table automatically balloons disappear from drawing...
    I'm trying, but don't work properly it, can you help me ?
