    Weldments & curved sections

    Currently we order in the straight sections with holes, angled cuts etc then after it comes to the factory here we roll them using the ring roller. I've modelled it as a straight section then used the flex tool to achieve what we manufacture in house. So now I've got 2 configurations & 2...

    Problem with Ordinate dimensions

    Ok thanks for the advice Currently the upper & lower sections are rectangular 50 x 25 section parts with laser cut holes through one face for the correct vertical infill spacing The parts are extruded from fully constrained sketches from our company library When using the ordinate dimensions...

    Weldments & curved sections

    Yrs ive tried using the weldment fearure & from my tests it creates a cut list,with the length & cut angles but our curved sections also have holes & slots, which will need showing in a straightened section for ordering from the laser cutters (in a drawing, dxf & step files)

    Problem with Ordinate dimensions

    It's an assembly at the moment (tube is a part & normally patterned ) not a weldment feature & it's fully defined The assembly is symmetrical (up to now) Sometimes it's just a couple of the ordinate dimensions that flip to the incorrect side Boss wants the dimensions like this as he thinks...

    Problem with Ordinate dimensions

    Using SolidWorks 2014 Ive got a problem using ordinate dimensions & dimensioning to the edge of round tubes. The base line zero is off a flat edge part & I try dimensioning to the left edge of the infill tubes as shown. (we do it this way as its quicker for the fabricators to measure to the edge...

    Weldments & curved sections

    Weldments & curved sections Ive started using weldments/structural members for some of my profiles & its ideal for quick frames like tables or boxes with straight profile sections. Some of the welded frames I have to design have curved tubes or box sections From the quick weldment sketch I...
