Skid Deck Plate
Skid Deck Plate
(OP)
I am constructing a skid frame in the Frame Design function and I need a deck plate in top of it. Is there a way that I can put a deck plate on top without having to drawing the deck plate as a separate part file and assembling it to the frame.

Would you explain the reason behind this?

RE: Skid Deck Plate
The frame you have created is already in assembly, so your best option is to create the deck plate in place. I would recommend that you do that because you can associate the size of the deck plate to the frame members it will attach to, and because you create it in place, it will be grounded and already placed on the frame members. I saw on another post that you mention you are a new user. If you have any questions about the methodolgy please ask and I or someone else will be glad to help.

+ it means it will automatically update etc
- it can cause configuraion control night mares.

If the design is fairly simple, you're probably fine, but do give some consideration to where it may go in the future.

If I understand you correctly, you do not want to create separate file for the deck plate and question refers to this.
Sorry for being unclear.
