I am trying to edit the cut list property for a weldment. I want "LENGTH@@@Cut-List-Item5@FES-02-WAL-FRT-FW.SLDPRT" to be "SCRAP 2"-4"" but when I higlight LENGTH@@@.... and delete it, then add my custom text, it always jumps directly back to LENGTH@@@... before I can even hit ok in the properties list. How do i prevent this from happening?
Update:
I saw another post about this on the forum suggesting to take out the quotation marks.... This did not work for me. I can't type anything at all into the box without it reverting to LENGTH@@@...
With SolidWorks 2014 (and I have to assume 2015 and 2016), you cannot manually edit the length custom property manually. One workaround is to create another custom property in the weldment cut list and in the cutlist BOM, add a column that looks at this custom property. Another workaround is to delete and recreate the LENGTH custom property through API.
