Have been serching the forums but could not find any solution on how to get the overal length of
a profile and have it put in as a Note in a drawing template, is it possible?

Hi
When I have two of the same structural member separated from eachother I only get the length of one.
In a cutlist bom it will show QTY 2 and the length of 1 (Length 800). I would like to get the total length of the 2 (800+800=1600) to show in a custom property so that I can put it as a note in a drawing, If it Is possible?
In the cut-list property, is there a value for QTY like "QTY@@@Cut-List-Item2@skiva test.SLDPRT"? If so I can use an equation in the part file to show the total length in a custom property.
You may check out this solution using BOM tables instead of Cut-List tables (I don't like this solution but its possible) -

And I also suggest you to check an AddOn that my company develops which may help you exporting your cut-list data to Excel file, AutoStruct.
Edit:
I also found this link-
http://gupta9665.wordpress.com/2010/11/02/how-to-use-equations-in-drawing-tables/
Which explains how to use equations in cut-list tables. You can use this and save the Weldment Table as a template so you will always get it.

Do you have multibody part with 2 structural members in one cut-list item and you want to add a Cut-List table to the drawing with a 3rd column that says "QTY*Length"? I'm not sure if it's possible without some macro. Is that the case?
Thanks for the response
Yes it is a multibody part with 2 structural members in one cut-list item, My Idea was to have a note that only displays the length so i can fix it in a drawing template and not use a Bom table, any other information of the structual member is not importand in this case.
What do you mean by "overal length"? All sketch line in the feature or one segment?
