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!
