1. waht happend hereWHY ARE THESE BALLOONS LISTED AS 1 IN SOLIDWORKS 2025

ASSISTANT RESPONSES:
1. This is actually a very recognizable SOLIDWORKS weldment issue. The fact that every balloon says "1" tells me the balloons have lost their association with the weldment cut list, not that your cut list itself is wrong. This behavior has been reported by other SOLIDWORKS users as well. [embedded media omitted] First thing I notice Your cut list looks correct: | Item | Description | |. . :|. . . . -| | 1 | Square Tube | | 2 | Square Tube | | 3 | Square Tube | | 4 | C8x11.5 | | 5 | C8x11.5 | So the table exists and has proper numbering. But every balloon is displaying 1, which usually means one of these has happened: 1. The cut list is out of date (most common) In the weldment part: - Right-click Cut List - Click…
2. This screenshot actually tells me something important. The balloon is still set to "Item Number", so the balloon itself isn't the problem. What I also notice is the yellow message at the top: > "If you need to order balloons sequentially, a Bill of Materials is required." That message appears when SOLIDWORKS thinks these are regular balloons, not weldment cut list balloons. Let's verify one thing. Click the drawing view (not the balloon). Then tell me: Insert → Tables Do you have: - Weldment Cut List ✔ or - Bill of Materials ✔ Your table *looks* like a weldment cut list, but I want to verify it actually is one.. Next check Click the table. Does the upper left corner say something like [code excerpt omitted] or…
