80/20 Frame construction
80/20 Frame construction
(OP)
I'm working on a design of a frame w/ 80/20 alum section now, but I suppose it applies generally. Right now I have a library w/ various length of 80/20 section, which is fine until somebody comes and says great, make it 2" longer and a foot taller, then I'm switching stuff out and making lengths I don't have etc.
Is there a way to make the structure sketch driven, sort of like a weldment?

RE: 80/20 Frame construction
Since there is so much variation on holes, pilots, and other features, I just make a new PN for each version I need. That way, if that particular one changes, it does not affect any other assemblies.
After the last project I went back and tried to redo it as a weldment. Like dancing with an elephant, It can be done, but what's the point?
T-Slots is (possibly) working on an add-in for SWX.
