I just updated to Solidworks 2015 sp 4.0 and now my cut list wont populate. A standard bom works fine and I have excel obviously. I checked that the template was in the correct folder and it was pointing to it. Any ideas please? I have repeatedly updated the cutlist in the model but it has made no difference.
Hi Matt
can you attach the part and the drawing for review?

Ho many bodies do you've in the model? Have you checked the cut list properties in the model and make sure that they have the required properties/values there.
There are several bodies in the part. The cut properties are present as they should be. The cut list populates fine when I create it on another machine so it must be a setting
Can you delete and re-add the cut list table in the drawing?
yes I can delete it and re add it but it still doesn't populate. Since the properties appear in the model for each body and my excel is working fine with design tables , it makes me think there is an issue with cut list pointing to the properties in the model. what could cause that?
Well need to check the model in that case. Can you upload both part and drawing Or at least the part file.
Deepak, can I send it directly to you?
Yes, sending you PM with email id.
Matt,
Are you saying the same part and drawing files on a different machine can populate the cut list? If you open it again on your computer and refresh does it clear the cut list?
I misspoke before. I have several machines running sw . I can open any other part that I have created on the other machines and create a cut list in a drawing with no problem. when I open this part on any of my machines and create the cut list in a drawing I get an empty cut list as you see in the first post.
Cut list is always driven from welded configuration. And all features in your model are suppressed for that config. Unsuppress them all and then check again. Make sure to update the cut list.
GOOD GRIEF. SOMETHING SO SIMPLE. THANKS DEEPAK, AS ALWAYS YOU ARE THE MAN.
