Weldment Cut Lists
You can use a weldment cut list
table to add a BOM-like table for cut, welded structural shapes.
When the first weldment feature is inserted in a part, the Solid
Bodies 
folder is renamed to Cut
list 
to indicate the items to include in the cut
list. The icon indicates that the cut list needs to be updated.
The icon 
indicates that the cut list is up-to-date.
Items that appear in the cut
list must appear in the Cut list
folder at the part level.
The option to
automatically organize all of the weldment entities in the cut list is
on by default in new weldment parts. To turn it off, right-click Cut list and clear Automatic.
Although the cut list is generated automatically, you manually specify
when to update it in a weldment part document. This enables you to make
many changes, then update the cut list once.
To update a cut list:
In the FeatureManager
design tree of a weldment part document, right-click Cut
list and select Update.
The Cut List icon changes to . 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 exclude a feature from the
cut list:
Right-click
the feature.
Select
Make Weld Bead.
The next time you update the cut list, the feature is excluded. To
include a feature that was previously excluded, right-click and select
Make
Non Weld Bead.
To insert a weldment cut list into a drawing:
In a drawing, click Weldment
Cut List 
(Table
toolbar) or Insert, Tables,
Weldment Cut List.
Select a drawing view.
Specify properties in the Weldment
Cut List PropertyManager, then click 
.
If you did not select Attach
to anchor point in the PropertyManager, click in the graphics area
to place the cut list.
Be sure to trim structural members in the part document so
that correct lengths appear on the cut list in the drawing.
To sort a column in a weldment
cut list:
Right-click in a column and select Sort, Ascending
or Descending.
Configurations
Weldments have two default
configurations: Default <As
Machined> and Default <As
Welded>.
Different states of the same weldment are handled by configurations.
The top level is an <As Machined>
configuration, and includes machined features such as holes. Underneath
the top level is a derived state that is an <As
Welded> configuration.
Weldment cut lists are always based on the <As
Welded> configuration.
Materials
Weldment cut lists recognize materials when determining whether bodies
are identical. If two bodies are geometrically identical but have different
materials applied to them, they are placed in separate folders in the
cut list. You can apply a material to bodies within the weldment cut list.
When you apply a material to a body, the cut list automatically updates
by placing the body in the appropriate folder.
To apply a material to a body:
In the part document, right-click a structural
member and click Material.
Click Edit Material
or select a material in the menu.
Custom Properties
Weldment cut lists include the item number (ITEM
NO.) and quantity (QTY.)
and cut list custom properties.
Custom
properties for cut lists are different from custom
properties at the document level. In weldment parts, properties are
included with cut list items created from structural members with library
feature part profiles:
You can add properties to the cut list items.
To add custom properties to cut list items:
In the part document, right-click a Cut-List-Item
and select Properties.
In the dialog box, on the Cut
List Summary tab:
Type or select a Property
Name.
Select
a data Type.
Type text or a value in Value
/ Text Expression.
Press
Enter.
Repeat step 2 as necessary, then click OK.
