Currently the weldment table, length is automatic generated base on the actual weldment length and appear in the weldment table.
Is there anyway i can overwrite the length value and manually key in with my own value?

Thanks.

Thx for your reply.
But the problem is I just need to change 1 or 2 profile length. Creating a new column then I have to rewrite all the profile length right?
Any faster way?
There are two ways:
1. Change the length column to user defined. This way the column will be unlinked but value will stay there. Now you can change the length as required. The only draw back is that if there is any change in length then you need to set the column back to length property to get the updated values. And finally repeat the step of setting to user defined and changing values.
2. Create a new column and add an equation in the cell and set them to original length cell. Don't do this for lengths you want to have different value.
I like the option 1, but I can't find a way to edit the default length in weldment cut list table and user defined it.
Truly appreciate. :)
Or anyway to edit it in the individual weldment properties?
Click on the column and then in the feature manager, change/set to use defined.
thanks Gupta. this is one of the way. Like what you said, this method need to be very careful and alert as the link will be broken.
how great if we can access to individual cut list summary and just edit the LENGTH's value, which currrently was fixed and unable to change it unless we use user defined to.
Maybe a simple macro can do it? to all us to change it instead of using default "LENGTH@@@Cut-List-Item1@ABC.SLDPRT"
Might be help. Raise the idea. https://forum.solidworks.com/community/general/solidworks_world_2014_and_the_top_ten_list
Add a new column and key in the required length. You can hide the original length column in the table.
