I'd imagine this scenario comes up often when making drawings: 

View B uses the BOM from view A so that the balloon callouts are in sync with each other; views A & B are different assembly configurations.  Assembly configurations A & B have all the same parts but some parts in B have different configurations from A.  The result is that those parts with different configurations in view B have the dreaded asterisk balloon.  Balloon callouts all display as expected in view A - which makes sense because this view governs the BOM which both views A & B share.

So after that long winded explanation, does anybody know if there's a fix to this?
