I am doing the practice test for the CSWP-Sheet Metal test. Question 5 asks for the bounding box area. Is there a tool in SW that tells you what the area is, or do you have to pick the edges of the bounding box and get out the calculator and multiply? I thought it would be in a property box or something for quick reference. Thanks
Well, I've got SolidWorks working on something at the moment so I can't check, but if multiply-ing the width by the height of the bounding box rectangle is not the way you want to go, I'd look at the cut-list item properties for a built-in property for the bounding box area.
I'd start by right-clicking on the body in the the cutlist and going to properties and then going to the properties list and see if there's an itme for bounding box area there.

You can get it from your Cut List Properties.
How do you get to that Cut List Properties box? I right clicked on cut list and there is no option to open that Properties List.
edit: nevermind I found it. Thanks ya'll!
