Question 2

To create a custom weldment profile for a non-standard cross-section, what must the defining sketch contain?

Accepted Answer

A closed 2D sketch contour saved as a library feature part (.SLDLFP)

Answer

A custom weldment profile is created as a SOLIDWORKS Library Feature Part (.SLDLFP) containing a closed 2D sketch of the cross-section.

Question 3

In a weldment drawing, which SOLIDWORKS table type is used to list the cut list items with quantities and lengths?

Accepted Answer

Weldment Cut List table

Answer

The Weldment Cut List table in a drawing automatically lists all cut list items from the weldment part with their properties such as quantity and length.

Question 4

What is the significance of the 'Exclude from cut list' option on a weldment solid body?

Accepted Answer

The body is not listed in the cut list table or weldment BOM

Answer

Checking 'Exclude from cut list' removes that body from cut list grouping and table output, useful for reference geometry or post-weld machining stock.

Question 5

When SOLIDWORKS automatically numbers items in a weldment cut list, what does the balloon number in a drawing view correspond to?

Accepted Answer

The item number in the Weldment Cut List table

Answer

Balloons in weldment drawing views reference the item number column of the Weldment Cut List table, linking physical members to their table entries.
