Problem

This article goes over the steps to change the custom weldment profile name and update a model to the new name.

When creating a weldment profile, there is a chance that you will need to update the name associated to the profile and how it appears in the cutlist. For example, the photo below shows that the cutlist is naming the weldment Before Change, but I wish to change the name to be After Change.

Solution

1. Open the Weldment Profile that you wish to modify using the SOLIDWORKS file explorer from File > Open.

   

2. Open the Custom Property Window for the profile and modify the text within the Description row. Note: This is what the weldment uses for a reference in the cutlist name.

3. Once the name change has been made, click OK, save the weldment profile, and close the file

4. In the part file referencing the profile, right-click on the weldment feature and choose Edit

   

5. In the property manager, change the profile being referenced to another one, then switch back to the custom profile that was modified.

6. Click the green checkmark to stop editing the feature. The cutlist should update, and the name will change in the cutlist folder.
