Cutlist does not update

Hi everyone,

I am trying to make a macro that copies the cutlist properties into configuration properties. I could do it for a part with one configuration using the following macro. The problem is for configurations that are not active it returns values like "LENGTH@@@Cut-List-Item4@Weldment.SLDPRT" instead of the actual length. I am not sure what I am missing here.

Regards,

Saeed
