1. Watch the videos
Dassault Systèmes videos hosted on MySolidWorks: they open in a new tab and a free account is enough. Watch them in order.
Weldments: Cut ListOrganize bodies and add properties shown in the cut list.↗ Weldment DrawingsInsert the weldment cut list table and import the welds on the drawing.↗
2. Key takeaways
The cut list automatically groups identical bodies (same profile, same length, same cuts).
Each group carries calculated properties: length, cut angles, profile description, mass.
On the drawing, the weldment cut list table shows these properties, and balloons attach to the groups.
Update the cut list after each change: otherwise the quantities remain those of the previous version.
Tip
Turn on automatic cut list updates in the document properties: you will avoid drawings with outdated quantities.
