Weldments Cut-Back
Weldments Cut-Back
(OP)
We buy components for our weldments pre-cut. Our shop requires me to leave a 0.06" gap for them to weld the pre-cut pieces together. How can I force SolidWorks to create that gap in a weldment?

Place this into a new thread as it does not pertain to this situation.

RE: Weldments Cut-Back
You asked for another way:
1) After you make the weldment you could make 0.06" wide cuts through the individual sub-parts.
2) Instead of using the weldment tools, you could make the pre-cut parts individual models and put them together in an assembly with a 0.06" gap (certainly not my method of choice).
Just out of curiousity, do you make the part(s) 0.06" smaller to accommodate for the gap?
