solidworks >> Some LW parts not showing in BOM til 'resolved' in Assy SW2006sp3

Anybody else seeing some LIGHTWEIGHT parts not populating all the fields
of an Excel based BOM in assembly drawings, until the parts are Resolved
in the Assembly file? I get a handful of parts that repeatedly do not
display their 'DESCRIPTION', every time I open the drawing, I have to
open the assy and resolve or dig thru the assy and find the offending
parts... just to make a print!

The original Assy was made back in 2003 or so, migrated and revised
since, with about 195 unique parts...

Waiting patiently<not> for the next SP...

Have the same problem, and with the SW BOM as well. To solve it, until
a SP is released, im opening all drawings as resolved. In the BOMs, I
also have a problem with the BOM positions numbering and the ballons
positions arent the same, here I have to open the assy and reorder 1
component, to trigger a rebuild, so the BOM positions are refering to
the correct ballon numbering. Dont know if there is a solution for this
as well?

Glad to hear I'm not alone... if the assy weren't so large I'd send it off to
the reseller

Now, the problem--we're still on 2003, and using an Excel BOM.  I can't get

Anyone know how to show sub assy parts lists within a BOM table on a drawing
using Repeat regions. I know it can be done just can't remember as its so
long since I set one up. I think you have to use nested repeated regions but
can't remember

Thanks
