Hello,
I was hoping I could map the path I want by choosing a groove in a casing. The groove is designed to house a .070 inch diameter o-ring cord, which comes in 100 ft length, but gets trimmed to spec.
What I would LIKE to do, is have SW create the path by following the groove, obviously, and then use a (weldment?) profile that creates the o-ring in the groove. The reason I do not just make a part that follows the same sketch and insert it, is because I would like this process to be repeatable.
I have saved the profile in my weldments profile, because what I would like to do, is have SW create the O-ring in assembly mode, while the BOM calls it out as the part #, and it's length. We use similar o-ring cord a lot, and it would be a huge time saver to not have to create a specific o-ring each time, since the part # is just the cord called out, with the length.
TIA for any help.
