Grouping Weldment Profiles and Quantities (2025 SP3)

In the Bill of Materials (BOM) PropertyManager, you can group weldment profiles and quantities in a detailed cut list more efficiently.

To group weldment profiles and quantities:
  1. In a drawing of a weldment or structure system, click Bill of Materials (Table toolbar) or Insert > Tables > Bill of Materials.
  2. In the Bill of Materials PropertyManager, under BOM Type:
    1. Select Indented.
    2. Select Detailed cut list.
    3. Click Weldment Grouping.
  3. In the Weldment Grouping dialog box, select items to group:
    • PROFILE (Standard, Type, Size). Defines the structural members in a weldment model. This is a cross-sectional shape of a structural member, such as a beam or tube.
    • UNIT OF MEASURE. Specifies the units of measure for models in the BOM.
    • MATERIAL. Recognizes materials when determining if models are identical, grouping geometrically identical models with different materials into separate folders within the cut list.
    • LENGTH. Specifies the individual lengths of each model within a weldment, and the total length of identical models grouped together.
    • ANGLE1. Specifies the end face closest to the sketch profile.
    • ANGLE2. Specifies the end face opposite of ANGLE1.
    • DESCRIPTION. Provides details about each cut list item, such as material type and finish.
    • PART NUMBER (SW-Part Number). Specifies a custom property in the cut list named SW-Part Number.
