Updating Cut Lists

You can update cut lists manually or automatically.

The cut list icon shows the cut list status:

  • fm_cutlist_needs_update.png indicates the cut list should be updated.
  • fm_cutlist_current.png indicates the cut list is up to date.

To manually update the cut list:

  • In the FeatureManager design tree of a weldment part document, right-click Cut list fm_cutlist_needs_update.png and select Update.

    The Cut List icon changes to fm_cutlist_current.png.

    Identical items are grouped together in Cut-List-Item subfolders. Weld beads are excluded from the cut list. You can select other features to also be excluded.

To enable automatic update:

  • Right-click the cut list and click Update Automatically.

    The software updates the cut list automatically when you add new features, such as extruded plates or 3D bounding boxes, edit existing features, or rebuild the model.

    The model's custom properties and internal supporting data are also updated, preventing custom property errors.
