Weld lists in drawings

Hello everyone

I work in a company that does a lot of brazing on copper.
the quality department asks to make the list of welds/soldering on the drawing of the pipes to make them correspond with the welding book.

I did a first test, but SW lists 1 welds in quantity 2

In the table I would like to have one line per weld even if they are identical.
Is it possible to do this?
Kind regards

Oops
I forgot to specify. I use solidworks 2020

Hello;
You can combine/uncombine weld tables as well as BOM tables:
by checking or unchecking: Combine welds of the same type in the table properties.

Thank you Maclane for your answer,
but This still makes a line for welds. The quantity changes to 1 and the length is doubled.

I want a line per weld. In my example it will be 2 lines with article number 1 and 2, and the same information on each line.

I believe that this option only appeared from the 2021 version...

But we would need more details on the type of design of your weld seams, can you send us an example (part and drawing) or at least a screenshot of your construction shaft and one of your mechanically welded bodies (especially properties)?

Hello Maclane
Here is the construction tree of my example

It is simple.
Piece 1 and Piece 2 are tubes that are joined by brazing at a bend.

I think you're right. The list of welds, weld by weld, had to arrive in 2021. I followed the path indicated

but I couldn't find the Welded Construction function but not the weld cutting list.

This will probably end up with an excel table imported into the drawing

Kind regards
