:::Custom
weldment Profiles:::
To get the Weldment Profiles to work, all you need
to do is make a new part with a single sketch of the desired profile.
A "good tip" is to include several points in the sketch
to give yourself many options to locate the profile when you make
Weldments.
1) Select the sketch in the FM and go to File\Save as
Library feature part.
2) Now, save this or drag (requires folders to be have be made
prior to draggin) this *.sldlfp into a folder that has a couple
levels. For example, I made a folder called Custom Weldment
Profiles/Extruded Aluminum/Inch/ and placed the *.sldlfp
in the Inch folder.
3) No go to Tools\Options in SW and choose the
File Locations category......then Weldment Profiles,
then browse to the Custom Weldment Profile folder.
4) When you use the Weldment Tool, you will now see an additional
Standard called Extruded Aluminum, a Type called Inch and a Size
called whatever you named your *.sldlfp.
5) Of course, your folder names will differ, but the depth of the
nested folders is VERY
important for them to show up in the Command correctly.
