Multiple Weldment Cut Lists

    I often want to display two weldments in a single drawing, but find that
    after inserting the first weldments cut list, the option to insert one
    for the second weldment is greyed out. Is there a work around to have
    both cut lists?

    I am aware that the weldment can be saved as an assembly but the profile
    information contained within the cut list is lost so this is not an
    acceptable solution.

    Any ideas? Is SW looking at introducing multiple cut lists in future
    revisions?

    Thanks

    You can have multiple weldments in the same drawing, but not on the same
    sheet in the drawing file

    I typically put the weldment in an assembly, I place a view of the
    weldment on one sheet and the assembly on another sheet, so the drawing
    references the weldment file and the assembly file.

    Good luck
