By right-clicking, you can:

  • Or add the active document in SOLIDWORKS (part or assembly).
  • Or select the files to be processed from File Explorer.

When the following message appears ...


 


... that means:

  • Either the part does not include any sheet metal features (only solid features).
  • Either the part does indeed include sheet metal features, but the "List of Welded Parts" feature has not been updated.


     -->

   -->

 


If a part consists of multiple sheet metal bodies, these items will appear in the list. The different thicknesses will also be visible for each body. You can select multiple files by clicking " Browse to add a document."


 


In the case of an assembly consisting of components with sheet metal functions ...


 


... the list displays a bill of materials identifying all the sheet metal parts contained in the various components of the assembly. It is then easy to select or deselect the laser-cut parts to be included in the processing.


 


The column layout (adding columns, column width, properties, etc.) can be adjusted in the Options tab.

Depending on where you right-click, a context menu allows you to perform certain actions.
