Weldment Profiles for Downloading?

Weldment Profiles for Downloading?

Weldment Profiles for Downloading?

(OP)
Does anyone have a folder of custom weldment profiles for downloading?  I am specifically looking for I-Beams, C-Channel, etc.
Thanks in advance if anyone has done the legwork.

I have just been handed a large design project that uses a ton of different size structural members.  It just would have been faster if someone had most of them done already.  I am currently making all the ones I need in case no one has them available for d/l.  I am probably going to make all the ones in my Machinists Handbook while I am at it.
Thanks again

If you had Toolbox, you could get some of the pre-made steel sketch profiles there, but you would still have to save them into a Weldment profile folder. Like instructed in the link above.

I do have Toolbox, but when I try to "save as" the weldment profile all I get is a box that says "Resolve Ambiguity". What am I doing wrong?  Is there a way to save all the profiles in Toolbox at one time so that they can be referenced in the weldments profile folder?
Thanks

RE: Weldment Profiles for Downloading?

1) No you would have to do each one, plus add profile start points to each one in the first sketch (don't make more than 1 sketch.

2) Then pick the sketch in the FM tree
3) File\Save as\ Library part
4) Browse to the loaction of your Weldment profile folders
5) Save it
6) test it to make sure it works correctly.

I did just this with a toolbox sketch steel profile from the TB.
