I am using weldments to design frames for machines. I use a lot of 80/20 aluminum extrusion. Many times I have more than one size, so I use a few different structural members in the part. My question is, when I create a drawing for a part and insert a Cut-List, can I call out specific materials (sizes) for different structural members?
Eg. I am desiging a safety frame for a machine using 80/20. I have two different sizes. 40x40mm and 40x80mm. I want to have a column in my Cut-List that states whether the specific piece is to be 40x40mm or 40x80mm.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Add a custom property to the weldment profile using the "40x40mm" value. Call this custom property "Description". In the other profile, set "Description" to "40x80mm". In your default cut list template, include a column for the "Description". This would require updating both the weldment profiles, and the cut list table template if this is not currently in these files.
Update: I've added a sample set of documents for an example.
