Sorting Options

  Collect Identical Bodies Collects all bodies in a Cut-List-Item folder that are geometrically identical, but are generated by different features.
  Faces/Features to Exclude Excludes faces and features from cut list sorting. This option is useful for collecting bodies generated from identical stock material by ignoring features such as holes, fillets, and chamfers.
You cannot exclude certain faces and features. Warning or error messages alert you.

Examples:

  • Chamfers that remove an entire face.
  • Suppressed features.
  • Features that create new bodies from sketches, such as boss-extrude, revolve, and sweep.
  • Certain sheet metal features.
