“How do I add default Cut List properties to a weldment in SOLIDWORKS?" I have been asked this question on multiple occasions. To fully answer the question, we first need to understand the different Cut List types, and how the properties are generated.

 

3D ContentCentral® is a website that provides access to 3D CAD models from component suppliers and individual users in all major CAD formats like SOLIDWORKS. In the SOLIDWORKS Task Pane, click Design Library. In the Design Library, expand 3D ContentCentral. There are two subcategories: Supplier Content and User Library.

 

The SOLIDWORKS PDM Task List provides an overview of tasks inside the vault where an Administrator can do the following: The Task List is within the Tasks node. Within the Task List window, the Pending tasks will show tasks that are in the process of being executed or waiting to be executed.

SOLIDWORKS Electrical makes it easy to create libraries for organizing your manufactured parts, symbols, title blocks, cable references, and macros. To get started, simply go to the Library tab and click on the Libraries manager.

The 3DEXPERIENCE platform is a collection of different apps that complement the SOLIDWORKS desktop tools and allow customers to collaborate on designs anywhere. Because the 3DEXPERIENCE platform is cloud-based, and designed for collaboration, it is an ideal for use in the virtual classroom.

SOLIDWORKS Composer makes it easier than ever to mirror parts of a part or assembly. The tool we want to use is called Symmetrize, and it lets us create a mirror copy that either replaces the original component or sits directly across from it. Want to flip an smg component to show a different angle? Done. Want to show an assembly from two sides at the same time? It can do that too.

New in SOLIDWORKS PDM 2020, users can reorder search result columns. The results column order will be automatically saved so that the columns will be in the desired order the next time you complete a search. Below is an example of searching for CAD files that have steel as their Material.
