optOFFSet a database field with a specific value

It is possible to set a DOCUMENT field with a specific value on the save of a Part with child cut-list records.
In such way it is possible to mark the Part with an attribute that can be used for Visual Cues or for quick filtering.
The old value of the attribute is restored in case the Part does not have any child cut-list record.

Example

The part parent of the cutlist items will have the field CATEGORY1 set to "cut list" value.

optOFFCreate child records only for <As Welded> configuration

When checked, the child cut-list records are created only if the current configuration is <As Welded>.

optOFFOverride base part BOM quantity with Cut-List items BOM quantity

When checked, DBWorks searches for a Cut-List Item that refers to a child Base Part, and if found, it applies the Cut-List Item quantity to the Base Part quantity

Example

images_cutlistQuantity

In the above figure, the highlighted Cut-List-Item1 has a quantity of 50.
This cut-list-item refers to the base part BOLT-...
When the option is checked, the quantity 50 is applied to the PARENT-CHILD relation between 026904 and BOLT-...

Notes

b.the SolidWorks option "Load external references" must be set to ALL for having this feature to work properly

optOFFAvoid Cut List records within the following [Grids]
