how do i identify weldment profile used in model
how do i identify weldment profile used in model
(OP)
The draftsman of our company work with a lot of weldments that the other engineers and i have created. It would help for them to have a quick way to identify which weldment profile each member uses. The "built in" way to do it would be to lable the structural member feature with the appropriate profile, however any feature which modified that feature (i.e. cut/extrude) would also have to be labled and be confined only to one type of profile.
Is there a tool or or option to turn on to allow for easy identification like the measure tool or just hover over with mouse.

If you are in the part weldment model you must RMB on the cultist in the feature manager tree and update the cultist before it will come into the drawing correctly.

I think this could be just the way solidworks codes things and i don't think there is a work around possible as it is currently built.
Maybe with more practice with the weldments and their features we might be able to get the cutlist to still reflect what is needed but as of right now i don' think its possible.
