Make a list of mechanically welded elements

Hello

I would like to be able to make a detailed list of all the cut-outs from a project.

I did find an arrow nomenclature option with label. creation of a table with the measurements. However I would like to be able to reuse these labels assigned by solidworks to create a detail page by page of each element with the quantity to be cut.

For example the number 1 (1600 mm shs) to be able to create an additional page in my presentation showing a thumbnail (to have a visual of cutting at 45 degree for example) of the target element with the quantity.

So far I am splitting my finished object to create a lot of mini solidworks files that I then get back into my layout.

Is there a less tedious way?

Thank you

I use "Model Relative View" to do exactly that. ( Inserting > Drawing Views > Model Relative)

http://help.solidworks.com/2018/french/solidworks/sldworks/t_insert_relative_view.htm

I even have a macro to automate the process (creating a new page, adding the relative view, side view, dimensions and a table with the name, quantity and length of the element)

It saves a lot of time
