    I need help with cut lists in weldments! When I insert the cut list in the drawing,

    I don't get the right qty's with certain items from the cut list.

    I have made one item, and made a pattern, therefore it doesn't correct the qty.

    Anyone know how to fix this?

    Thanks

    2 things to check in the part file:
    1-If the cut list is automatic, did you right click the cut list folder
    and update it?
    and
    2-If the cut list is manual, did you drag the new bodies into the
    existing cut-list-item folder?

    When you did the pattern, was "Merge" unchecked?

    I need help with cut lists in weldments! When I insert the cut list in the
    You should also note, that the weldment BOM always reflects the state of "As
    Welded" configuration. Sometimes it may happen that there is different
    amount of bodies in different configurations. Make sure that all required
    features are unsuppressed in the "As Welded" configuration.

    Also check the Geometry pattern/ use solidbody for pattern instead of
    selecting features. Al mentioned earlier, keep the bodies seperate.
