I think you might be able to do this with the Bommer add-in: https://www.getbommer.com/
Hi @resdog76 ,
If I understand you correctly, we can create parts list in the template as shown in image attached.
There are two command dialog highlighted;
1 is while inserting the parts list.
2 is while editing the parts list, [this is constrained with only options available in dialog for now]
Note:
The parts list adds the balloons automatically in respective drawing views.
I hope this answers you question.
