• Automatic Update of Cut Lists
  

  When you make geometry changes or edits to weldments, you can automatically update cut lists by right-clicking the cut list and clicking Update Automatically.

• Corner Treatment Dialog Box
  

  The Corner Treatment dialog box has been redesigned so you can more directly control how structural members are trimmed when three or more line segments intersect.

• Creating Assemblies from Multibody Parts or Cut Lists
  

  You can use Save Bodies to recognize similar bodies or a multibody cut list, such as weldments, and create an assembly with the appropriate bodies and instance counts.

• Cut List Folder Names Inherited from DESCRIPTION Property
  

  You can have the software automatically name cut list folders in a weldment part using the value of the cut list DESCRIPTION property.

• Disabling Automatic Creation of Derived Weldment Configurations
  

  You can disable the automatic creation of derived configurations if you do not use these configurations.

• Gusset Enhancements
  

  The Gusset PropertyManager includes additional geometric selection conditions for creating gussets.

• Internal End Caps
  

  You can add internal end caps to structural members.

• QUANTITY and TOTAL LENGTH Properties
  

  For weldments you create using SOLIDWORKS 2015 or later, the SOLIDWORKS software automatically generates two new properties, QUANTITY and TOTAL LENGTH.

• Structural Member Visual Grouping
  

  To make it easier to create and edit structural members with multiple groups, when you select a group it highlights in the preview.

• Weld Beads on Single and Multibody Parts
  

  You can now create and document weld beads on single and multibody parts.

• Weldment Options
  

  There is a Weldments page on the Document Properties tab of the Options dialog box.
