Hello all, cut lists seem to be popular questions but I didn't see my specific question asked. Here it is.

I do a lot of cabinetry/construction work and use Solidworks to model projects. I have a set of "Lumber" structural members (2x4, 2x6, 2x8, etc) and don't have issues populating my Cut List table when I use those. However, much of my work is using nominal plywood or MDF of various thicknesses, length and width. For example, lets say I make a cabinet box with a back, two sides, top and bottom. My Cut List will recognize that there are three parts, two of which have the same XYZ dimensions.

Item 1 - Back

Item 2 - Side, Side

Item 3 - Top, Bottom

My question is, how do I get the XYZ to actually populate? I don't necessarily care about appearance or perfection I just want numbers to appear.

For example:

Item 1 - 20x16x0.75

Item 2 - 0.75x10x20

Item 3- 16x0.75x10

Would be adequate.

Thanks!
