Multiple Cut List on same drawing?

Multiple Cut List on same drawing?

Multiple Cut List on same drawing?

(OP)
Is there a way to place multiple cut list on the same sheet.  I would like to detail 4 or 5 simple weldments on one sheet, but it doesn't give me the option to add a 2nd cut list.  I tried searching here but didn't come up with anything.  My VAR wasn't much help because nobody has asked him this question before.

Thanks in advance.

RE: Multiple Cut List on same drawing?

I couldn't find a way. The Cut List icon is not available for selection once one cut list has been placed in a drawing. I even tried to drag one from another sheet, but no dice.

Looks like you will have to stick to standards & place one weldment per sheet.

Thanks for the reply, I wanted to make sure there wasn't some option I was missing.  Let me state this and open up a whole can of worms.

"But that is not our standard."

I guess we will have to deal with it for right now.  I tried it a little in 2006 and haven't had any luck there either.

RE: Multiple Cut List on same drawing?

  I had the same issue... the weldments seem to have a lot of little limitations.  One workaround with the cutlist issue is by right clicking on the cutlist, you can export to a file and then use that file for a custom spreadsheet which you import as a BOM. [My memory is vague on this, so I am not 100% confident)

Yes, you can export the Cut List as a CSV or TXT format file, manipulate it in Word or Excel, and then insert it as an OLE object into the drawing. The information would not be associative to the model though.
