I have been using Solidworks for a few years, and there are definately a few huge problems that I would love to have changed. For example, Solidworks automatically groups like components into Sub weldments. This creates a huge problem when one goes to do the cut list, and the properties in the cut list isn't linked to the individual part files. If you update a part file, you must manually update the cut list.
Thanks,
Cliff
I am not real good at weldments, but I am pretty sure that while you are choosing the segments for the weldments you can choose to start a new group at any time.
