Feature Request: Frames Cut List Improvements
Chris_von_Staats
Member Posts: 1 EDU
I've been using Onshape's Frame feature for woodworking and it's been incredibly helpful. However, I have run into some situations where some additions to the Cut List would be really useful for me.
- Ability to change length unit
- Ability to reorder Items
- Title Column
- Notes column or other open text field
- Material column
- Stock Column - So you can choose a stock length that the cut will be made from
- It seems in general, a lot of the fields available in BOM would be helpful in the Cutlist (or the other way around).
I know I could export as a csv and make these changes/additions elsewhere, but would love to be able to do it all within Onshape.
Thanks!

I'd like to request that there be an option to show cut list lengths in fractional units and be able to round to the nearest 16th.
This is possible with FeatureScript. @Chris_von_Staats feel free to reach out and DM me if you need a custom feature built for this.
@Carl_ICE Do you want rounding added to the ICE CutList feature? 😎

I was working on modular homes, and we ended up using this community featurescript (Pretty Cut List), which is a fork of the native Onshape Frame tool:

We then made a number of small modifications to it ourselves to allow us to write properties to each stick of lumber (Doug Fir, length (fractional and decimal inches, etc).
I do think the frame tool could use some improvement, but as Michael Pascoe mentioned, it's all doable with some featurescript.
