Using Beams cut list table in drawings

I have a Part Studio that was made largely with the Beam feature script. One of the things Beam does is generate a Cutlist table in the Custom Tables tab with data like below.
Standard Profile Size Length Quantity
Timber Lumber 2 x 2 20.5 in 2
Timber Lumber 2 x 2 25 in 4
Timber Lumber 2 x 2 89 in 2
Timber Lumber 2 x 2 20.5 in 2
Timber Lumber 2 x 2 25 in 4
Timber Lumber 2 x 2 89 in 2
I'd like to use this table in my drawing of the part. I've tried the following to get the table into the drawing.
- Make a drawing of the part studio
- I can't find a way to get the Cutlist table
- I can make a table with the above data copied in, but that doesn't allow the table to be linked to the components
- Make a drawing of an assembly of the part studio
- I still can't find a way to import the Cutlist table into the drawing
- I can generate a BOM table, but that has each instance of a weldment piece as a separate line item, so there's 8 lines with Quantity 1
- I can do the same copy/paste procedure with the same drawbacks
From the reading I've done, it would seem that having all the parts in an assembly is the canonical way to do this in OnShape, but I'd love to be able to use the existing Cutlist table. For now, I'm going to do the copy/paste thing as a workaround.
