Cut-List Properties Dialog Box

The Cut-List Properties dialog box lets you manage, edit, and view all cut list item properties.

To display this dialog box:

In the FeatureManager design tree, right-click a Cut-List-Item in a weldment part or multibody sheet metal part and click Properties.

You can modify the Cut-List Properties dialog box by resizing it or changing column widths, to make information visible that would otherwise be truncated.

The software saves your changes with the active document. Changes you make are specific to the active document and do not affect other documents.

Cut List Summary Tab

This tab lets you navigate to any of the cut list item folders.

Cut-List-Item <n> Lets you select the cut list item for which you want to show properties.
Property Name Applies a property to the selected cut list item. You can enter or select a property.
Type Categorizes the type of property.
Value / Text Expression Lets you specify a value for the property that is compatible with Type.
Evaluated Value Calculates the value of the property.
Copy to Copies the property of a cut list item to:
  • All or specific cut list items that are available in the active configuration.
  • The same cut list items that are available in the remaining configurations.
Available for user-defined cut list properties only for files that use a new architecture.
Delete Deletes the cut list property from the current cut list item or all cut list items.
Exclude from cut list Omits the cut list folder from a cut list.
BOM quantity Links the property value to the Quantity column in a BOM. (It does not affect cut list tables.) For example, if the weldment has several structural members that are the same size, you may want to know how much (in length) of the item you need, not the quantity (number of items) you need.

When you select an item in BOM quantity, the value is calculated as: Number of instances * Item in BOM quantity

BOM quantity contains only those items listed in Property Name.
Edit List Lists custom properties that you defined for Property Name.
