Any efficient ways to make a cutlist from a cabinet drawing?

Im trying to guage the possibilities of using OnShape for woodworking.
One of the functions im missing is the ability to select all my parts, and put the dimensions in a list or a table.
Is there any featurescripts that can do this? I've seen the "frame" workflow, but that seems very inconvenient when you've allready drawn a cabinet.
No way to do this with something thats allready made?
Made the document you're all going to ask for anyways. It's just a box, but thats what i need i for :)

You probably don't need to gauge the possibility. There are companies using it and relying on it for production.

Can confirm that 6 years later, we are still using Onshape and creating 100% of our kitchens with Onshape. We're continuing to generate more and more information solely from the model, and are implementing more integrations with tools like Onshape's API. We've also had conversations with other cabinet manufacturers and have convinced them to make the switch to Onshape. So in terms of feasibility, it's doable. There is some work involved, but we have embraced Onshape as our primary CAD system and have found great success with it.
Quick tips:
Keep in mind, we're a highly custom cabinet manufacturer, so chances are you probably don't need to invest as much time as we did to get a solution up and running. If you have further questions, feel free to reach out.

Use the custom feature "Stock Size" in your Parts Studio. Insert the parts into an assembly and you will find the part dimensions in the Title 1 column of the BOM. Your box has only three unique parts- a better workflow would be to insert multiple instances of the parts as needed and mate them correctly in the assembly. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/3593aa8fd07a18d2106641a6/w/d5fa0b0cf83c1cd6f75c0f93/e/41cfb6a794413cc7f42bf1c6

@chadstoltzfus Cutlist+ is for frames. Measure Cut List is for generic use with things like cabinets. I should probably merge them into one feature. Measure Cut List will also name the parts so that you can have them show up in the bom list with sizes, or you can keep them in the part studio and use the custom table it produces to view the cut list.
