Hi all
I have made different plans for the manufacture of steel and wood furniture for my apartment, design finished, now comes the order of the material: the only way I have been able to find so far to know how much I need is to do it by hand, something quite long and laborious, Not to mention that it is unreliable given that given the number and complexity of some assemblies I may forget some parts to be integrated into the flow.
So here's my question: is there a feature in SolidWorks 2018 that allows me to automatically model this throughput list with the number of type A parts and length X, the number of type B and length Y parts, etc.
For example, for a 600x400 frame with a 20x20x3 angle, I will end up with a list indicating
- 2 x 20x20x3 lg 600 double 45° angles
- 2 angles 20x20x3 lg 400 double 45°
I specify that I do not intend to do any drawings, having the computer support in front of me during the manufacture, and that all my constructions are made by the "welded construction" function.
I admit that I looked for a while but the only solution I could find was during the modeling of the drawing by creating a detailed nomenclature, which would not save me time.
Thank you all, I hope I managed to explain myself^^
