    ductwork made easy in solidworks

    Thanks NTME, I actually did exactly what you said. I contacted my local Solidworks tech and he guided me through it. I am pretty proficient in excel so this makes it extremely easy now that I understand it a little better

    dxf export macro

    Sorry bad example... here's a better file for what I'm trying to do. It's the fitting then a collar on the top.

    thank you guys, for now I just used sldwkmin's suggestion, but I will definitely look into setting up driveworks for this.

    ductwork made easy in solidworks

    ductwork made easy in solidworks

    Hi everyone, I'm pretty new to the forums and solidworks and was wondering if i could get a little help. Basically what I'm trying to do is make ductwork in solidworks with the right seams/connectors etc. which is easy enough, but time consuming when I am handed 20 fittings in the morning...
