Weldment Feature Library
Weldment Feature Library
(OP)
I would like to create a library of various size tube diameters and wall thickness. Can this be done by using configurations? Do I need to create a Thin Feature for each size, or just a sketch?
This topic would be a great addition to the FAQs.
Thanks,
Larry

RE: Weldment Feature Library
Look at the file structure in the installation folders. You will see that each profile has it's own .sldlfp file.
One per feature is the only things right now. Unless, something has changed.

I have a separate 'master' part file for each type of tubing (round, square) I also did this for solid bar stock.
I then wrote a macro that will extract any/all of these configurations and save them as weldment profiles (.sldlfp - or any other format SW can export)
You might need to tweak the macro a bit to get it to work in your system, but here it is and one of my smaller 'master files'

RE: Weldment Feature Library
That's exactly what I had in mind! Your version is newer than mine(SW2004), so I couldn't load your file.
Are the profiles just a sketch saved as a .sldfp file, or do I need to create a feature? I want to learn the basics and then automate the process.
