Help adding cut list to different sheet without item number restarting from 1

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to make a drawing of a large weldment. I have several sheets for detail views of specific components of the weldment. To make these detail views I have used configurations and several "Delete Body" features so that each configuration will only show the bodies I'm interested when I add them to a drawing view. The only way I have to identify where each detail view belongs in the major weldment drawing is by using cut list numbers. I was hoping that I could add a cut list to each detail view, and the item number would appear as the same item number that it did in the first sheet. Instead, the weldment starts over from 1. Is there any way around this behavior?

Thanks in advance for the help

Correct Answer

If you right click on the views and select properties, there's an option to link it to a table. Select your cultist table from there, I've not tried it with configurations, not sure how they will affect it.

in your cut list properties you can choose what number it starts at. start each new page on the number after the last on the previous.

This will give every sheet unique numbers though. I'm hoping to have all item numbers on sheet 1 (Item No. 1-30) for the entire weldment, then when I call them out on a detail view, be able to have either balloons or a cut list that shows Item No. 1, 3, 12, 24 are in this view, where the item numbers are based on whatever each item was numbered on the first sheet.

Right now the best I've been able to do is link the cut list to the default configuration that is used on the first sheet of the weldment, but even then I'm not guarenteed to have matching numbers because somehow there's no link between numbering systems on different sheets apparently.

That's perfect! Unfortunately I don't think there is going to be a way to add a cut list on the new sheet based on those numbers. This will do the job though, thanks!

For anyone else who needs it, after right-clicking on the view I wanted to balloon, it let me link the balloons to the cut list that already exists on the other sheet.

Another thing to note. When you click on a weldment view, there is a button just below the configuration selection labelled 'select bodies...' it will open the part and you can select what bodies to show/hide. You could potentially use that instead of creating configs.

Quentin,

Stavros Smith made an excellent point, but even if you want to show certain combinations of bodies in the model you could hide them with display states instead of using configurations. That would eliminate the need for the Delete Body Features, and would almost certainly result in smaller files.
