In a welded/machined single part file.  One component is tube steel saw-cut down the axis.  Cut list shows two identical parts & essentially this is true.  However the tube is actually a single item to be ordered, just saw-cut during fabrication.  How can SolidWorks be manipulated to show this tube as a single item?

This scenario comes up often with other components & can be troublesome when items get double-ordered.

The solution to this has eluded us here.
