The weldment feature

When I create a layout sketch for a weldment feature (for instance, rectangular 1000*500) and I insert a structural member on those 4 lines you could say there are two of the same structural members, two of 1000 and two of 500. The problem I encounterd is the following....when I make a drawing and insert a cut-list he makes four different items, example:
-1 tube of 1000
-1 tube of 500
-1 tube of 1000
-1 tube of 500
How can I make it happen that SW knows that there are two the same of each?
The result I would like to achieve is the following:
- 2 tube of 1000
- 2 tube of 500


Is there anyone who could help me with this???
 
What you will need to do is got back to the weldment part file. In the fetaure tree there will be a folder for solid bodies(if using 2004) or weldment cutlist folder(if using 2005) What you will need to do is select the 2 same length mebers in that folder and r-click. There is an option to create a cut list item. You will have to do this to get your CUT LIST correct
