To Create an Optimized Profile Cut List Table
An automatically generated optimized profile cut list is created for each profile section in an assembly. A list of assembly profile parts to be cut from the raw material and at which length the cuts should be made is also included. The system automatically applies cut optimization when calculating the tables to minimize loss of material. You can create your own profile cut list tables in a file named stocklength_table.cfg. Stock length table files are stored in the configuration folder.
1. On the Framework tab, click Drawing Tools > Create a cut list.
2. Select the assembly model for which to create the table.
3. Enter the number of table columns.
4. Click the drawing area to place the table.
5. Enter y to create a separate table for each profile section type or n to create one table for all profile section types.
6. Optimized cut list tables are created on the drawing and the information also is written to a file named <assembly name>_cutlist.csv in current working directory.
 
* Calculation of optimized profile cut list tables may need some time depending on number of different profiles. Therefore the optimized cut list tables do not automatically update if the profiles in the assembly change in length, quantity section etc.  In this case delete the tables and create them again.
