Cut-list lenghts don’t match

Hello all,


I'm new to this forum, so hopefully i did not post this question in the wrong subfora.


I'm using solidworks 2008 sp0


The problem is:
Ive drawn a frame with "custom made structural member".WhenI auto generate the cut-list in my 2d drawing the lengths of the beams dont match the real lenghts.


I know what is causing this: When I use structural member and use corner treatment solidwork doesn't use the most outer diameter. But it uses the inner diameter.
I've added a image of the problem, as in this example the cut list should be 1 part of 100mm and 1 part of 80mm
BUT, the auto generated cut list makes it 1part of 100mm and 1 of 94 mm

When i use the trim/extend function i can make it right, but this is a lot of work for a frame of more then 30 parts.


Is their a way to compensate this? Like setting an outer perrimitter?


Greetings and thanks in advance.
