Is it Possible to Transfer Structural Steel Toolbox to Weldments?

Jan 10, 2007 6 Replies

Hi,



Is it possible to transfer/add the structural components from the beam calculator (or toolbox) to the structural components under weldments... so you can use them with a 3D sketch... like the "short" list that is already in weldments?



Hopefully there is an easy way to do this.



Thanks,

I believe they incorporated toolbox shapes to weldments in 2007.

toolbox parts, yes.

open toolbox part. activate desired configuration. delete the mate reference (no longer needed) delete all equations (no longer needed) delete all features & keep base sketch select base sketch, save as library feature (.SLDLFP)

Zander,

I guess I am dense here...

I do not see the "Weldments Folder" in the Design Library>"SolidWorks Content"(?)...

Can you be more specific if possible...?

Thank You for your help,

This is available beginning with 2007. It is not included in 2006.

Sorry, I didn't notice you were on 2006....
