Mirror a Weldment Profile
Mirror a Weldment Profile
(OP)
I'm using the WELDMENT feature to make a weatherstrip seal around a cabinet door. The sketch that drives the "sweep" is in context (in my assembly part). I made the custom profile feature & is works fine. but how do I get the profile sketch to MIRROR in my part? all I can do by locating it is to rotate it. This is making me crazier!

...can't do that with just a plain sweep.

Thing is that the weldment features are a nice way of doing some things that, if done the 'regular' way, where a huge amount of work to say the least... That is why we keep hearing people requesting improvements, because people like how it works.
If people wouldn't care they would just model it like they used to do before weldments were introduced.

TateJ, Handleman and others...SolidWorks folks need to know this feature has a potential flaw regardless of what it does and how the function is used. They need feedback to make things right for US. Also, if we don't tell them they don't know how to create what we need from the software. It's possible they never thought the weldment feature would be used other than what it was intended to be used for. If you registered and watched the webcast last week you heard John Hirshtick and Rick Chin used the phrase "absurd ideal" throughout whole webcast. They developed the software on just that premise.

I'm guessing this has been ER'd before... but "Oops, I did it again."

My weldments are never very complicated so I do not have the problem you run into.

Hey Draftsman101...as we folks here in Massachusetts say..."Wicked pissa!" How long did that take you to create?
