Custom Cut List

@MichaelPascoe - I am using your Cut List (Pascoe) feature script you created in 2021. Thanks for creating that feature.
Is there anyway to modify those column headers and data that you can input in to the table? Looking to see if I can bring in the following data in to that cut list table - Col1(PARTNO) COL2(DESCRIPTION OF PART) COL3(QTY REQ) COL4 (LENGTH) COL5(WIDTH) COL6(THICKNESS).
I come from working inside of SolidWorks and using there cut list feature that was pretty efficient and easy to use. I have been looking for something like what you have created for some time now.

Bedrock and I messaged some about this a while back. His needs were also related to assemblies.
@ing_luca_facondini, what specific functionality are you looking for? Are you wanting to modify the name of the inputs? Or perhaps the headers of the imported data?
The manual table entry already lets you choose the headers: For manual entry, the first row is the title of the column.

I would like to modify the cutting list by also inserting the name, description, Title1 of the part?
I use parts from different suppliers to make a structure. Currently the only way to create a welded structure in Onshape is by using a cut list.

Setting properties is easy, getting properties is possible via featurescript but there are some known issues. When getting properties, it only updates if you open up the feature due to the current limitations of how studios regenerate. Here is an improvement request you can vote on if you like: getProperty in FeatureScript - Improvement request
If you still want to get those properties in your table "Title 1, Name, and Description", you can use this custom feature Get property. It turns the properties of a part into variables which you can use in the Table feature. Note that it will not auto refresh if the properties change, you will have to manually open the feature up and click "refresh".

where can I find this Cutlist? I have been searching for days for a working app but there just isn't one.Would like to try your version, I am woodworker and using Frame to make a cutlist just does not work for me.0

@peter_jansen, here it is. It is a bit confusing now that there is an official feature called Cutlist for Frames. Though, if you do find a way to use frames, it automatically creates the cutlist when you use its cutlist feature instead of manually measuring each part.

@MichaelPascoe This is really cool, thank you!
Is there a way to automatically consolidate identical parts and have the Qty update accordingly?
Also, this is very high on re-gen time. Is that me doing something wrong?0 -
@ben_partouch, if there is a reasonably quick way to check identical parts, I will implement it.
The high regen time is coming from my costly alignedBoundingBox() function in there, I'll see if I can improve this too.

Thank you for looking into @MichaelPascoe
Really appreciate it.0 -
Hey @MichaelPascoe very nice work. One thing that occurred to me: You might be able to use topologyUtils.fs `clusterBodies` (which is what cutlist.fs does) to group similar bodies. If it works it will be very fast.
