Is there a way to tell what kind of structural shape a cut-list item is or barring that, that it is a structural shape vs a part made without using weldment profile, such as a plate? In the Cut-list feature, it shows a special folder icon for structural shapes and regular folder icon for stuff created without using weldment profiles so I am hoping it is possible. See attached for an image of the folders in cut-list.
Thanks in Advance,

Here's a sample that does what you want:
Here's my sample cut list:
And here's the output:
L angle L1.125X1.125X0.125(1)[1] is a structural member (E:\_EPDM\Engineering\Library\Mechanical\Weldment Profiles\ANSI Inch\L Angle\L1.125x1.125x0.125.sldlfp)
L angle L1.125X1.125X0.125(1)[3] is a structural member (E:\_EPDM\Engineering\Library\Mechanical\Weldment Profiles\ANSI Inch\L Angle\L1.125x1.125x0.125.sldlfp)
L angle L1.125X1.125X0.125(1)[2] is a structural member (E:\_EPDM\Engineering\Library\Mechanical\Weldment Profiles\ANSI Inch\L Angle\L1.125x1.125x0.125.sldlfp)
L angle L1.125X1.125X0.125(1)[4] is a structural member (E:\_EPDM\Engineering\Library\Mechanical\Weldment Profiles\ANSI Inch\L Angle\L1.125x1.125x0.125.sldlfp)
Fillet1 is NOT a structural member
Fillet1 is NOT a structural member
The hard part will be parsing out the actual shape from the path with all the different standards and such that are available.
