Cut Lists

A cut list is an item in the FeatureManager design tree that groups the same entities of a part together. It is available in parts that have weldment or sheet metal features.

Changing the Order of Cut List Item Folders

You can reorder Cut-List-Item folders. Because the order of the Cut-List-Item folders drives the cut list entries, you can apply a customized order to the cut list. The reordering propagates to the cut lists in the part and drawing.
Excluding Folders from Cut Lists

You can customize a cut list by excluding cut list folders from cut lists.
Excluding Features from Cut Lists
Updating Cut Lists

You can update cut lists manually or automatically.
Sorting Cut Lists

Cut-List Properties Dialog Box

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

In the Cut-List Properties dialog box, you can add a custom property that links a cut list folder to its cut list folder name. You can then include this cut-list property in BOMs, notes, and sheet formats. This property helps to identify members in large multibody weldments.
Materials in Weldment Cut Lists

Weldment cut lists recognize materials when determining whether bodies are identical.
Configurations in Weldment Cut Lists
Bounding Boxes in Weldments
