We can do an assembly drawing with a Bill of Material explaining to the manufacturer important info about each part. Also, we can number the parts with balloons, so that it can be easy to find and identify them. It will be explained all the necessary steps in Assembly Design and Drafting module.

This is somewhat related, but I'm not using numbers for the BOM. Instead I'm trying to use balloons to label the top level assemblies AND parts directly. The auto balloon and balloon tool will only pick-up the part names, not the sub-assembly name so I have to annotate these with leaders instead of balloons. Any ideas? Here is what I'm trying to accomplish:
