Long story short, I am working on a macro that gets data from the Cut List properties (Perimeter, # of bends) and create a custom property of these values so I can export this to an Excel file. Some of our weldments and assemblies have 20-30 parts, so Updating the Cut List manually on these parts is time consuming. The Cut List "folder" is set to Automatic but the cut list doesn't update unless I choose "Update" in the RC menu.
Is there a way to do this automatically?
See attached screenshot.
we don't do much with cutlists, but my understanding is that "automatic" just updates for changes to the existing bodies. if you add a body, then you need to rc and update to add it to the cutlist. I have no clue if that can be automated.
