Why doesn't it update instantly?

Unread post by Ömür Tokman »

Hi Guys,
Have a blessed day.
This is a problem I've been having for a few months now, updates don't happen instantly. I don't know if the problem is Windows. Every update of Windows is a separate problem. :(
Although I update a simple part over and over again, the update marks in the cut list do not disappear until I turn the part off and on.

two settings are available from the right-click in tree

but those 2 settings are also in "Document Setting"
plus there are others settings...

option 3, is important to set it "off" to get the normal SW behavior,
it was added a long time before for people with "strange workflow/use of the weldment feature"
(or for people who didn't understand correctly how to use weldment and cutlist...)

i suggest you first to learn "how to use correctly weldment-cutlist" with option 3 = off
to understand the true behavior of weldment-cutlist.

learning to use that feature with "option 3 on" is a little "special",
and many times pepole think "ok i know how weldment works" but in reality NO THEY DON'T.
and they are far unaware of the whole behavior of weldment, and understand thing about it badly...

try right-click on the "cut-list" folder
to activate "automatic list update"

can also be set in "Document setting", and also in your DOT if you want.
in "Document setting" / Weldment /
generally for the 4 first checkbox (to get a normal, like before, behavior of SW) :
1 = on
2 = on
3 = "off"
4 = on

5 = can be set to "off" if you don't need derived-config.
(and you can enable it after, if a part really need it)

First of all, thank you very much for your helpful answers.

Yes it meets my needs but only on file basis. the drawings are from my customers. for example. in this folder there are many drawings from the customer. Need to fix each one individually? Is there a solution like system options or template?

Omur,

You have to do them individually. You could ask your VAR or someone on here for a macro to do this. I have a program that my VAR provided to fix some issues that turns this setting on on all my files, but I can't provide it to you unfortunately.
