    Default Weldments Cutlist

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    I have drew up a 40 x 40 x2 box section framework.
    The problem i have is the weldments cutlist i cant get the cut angles of item no 2 in the cutlist it just comes up blank.
    I take it this must be a problem with my sketch.
    Has anyone here any weldments experience.
    Does anyone know how to fix this /
    Thanks in advance

    so is your weldment cutlist setup up for automatic or manual?

    can you right click on one of the tubes not included and see if you have the option Make Non Weld Bead.

    not off hand. There are very few SW users and unfortunately I havent produced a cutlist before. JDmathers I believe knows the most about SW but I couldnt tell you if he knows about weldments or cutlists. Ill keep digging and playing with it but unfortunately i just dont have an answer for you, sorry.
