structure creation (in assembly) with my profiles

[eboss]

You can use other profile sketch points, in the structural element's propitiance you can set a different alignment, using another point that is not the origin of the profile sketch.
Besides you can set the type the type of treatment edge, you will see that if you remove the flag from merge shortened bodies to angle you can get what you want.
the profile you need to save it in the default folder by going to also create the under folders for example:
c:\program files\solidworks corp\solidworks\lang\italian\weldment profiles\iso\angle iron

if you place them when you go to use the structural element command you can also select your profile.
if you create the solid and insert it into the toolboxes you can't put it in one part, but you have to work in the environment together. Are you working together?

Good afternoon
doing some evidence I realized that (as designed) the origin of the profile I always have it in the center of the sketch. and that in order to determine the length of one profile perpendicular to another I must subtract the thicknesses.
I tried to insert my profiles into the toobox as explained by you before but the right button does not want to know how to make me insert custom folders or parts

in the toolbox have you gone into hardware customization (page number 2)?? ? only there you can add folders and make a customization.

we work together. what I would like to achieve is something like in the figure attached but with my profiles and being able to extend them to need as circled. I do not need to parameterize them as I have only 5 types of structural profile with which I make all the structures.

hi ivan. I was just on that page trying to insert the folder and the parts with the right button.
Don't let me go.

che versione di solidworks hai?

premium '11
Consider that you can probably do it but I don't know how

In any case pressing the right does not ask me anything.. .

If I can:redface:... look at the attached video, maybe I'm a little rough, but it works.
of the toolbox I don't trust 100%...

Hi:

Thank you, mike.

My problem is that I wanted to get to do as described in answer 23.

it certainly turns out heavier but it is the easiest way for me and my limited capabilities

think I now have a folder where I save every profile length measurement and then use it in various structures when necessary. I think I'm a lot rougher than you hihihih:redface:

It seems strange to me that in the 2011 version the procedure is the same as the 2012 version.
if you configure toolbox and go to page 2 dx button on "standard toolbox" in the left tree and make new folder does not leave you?

Again. nothing:

However in the toolbox would you put the profiles with the lengths that interest you? explain to me better how would you want to manage the profiles according to the length that will change?

no no. I would like to do as when using an existing toolbox profile.
the selection and when the "fix" in the axieme appears the yellow arrow that allows you to change the length. confirming then continue to insert with clicks all profiles of the same size. But if you click on one of those and change the measure the others remain unchanged. I attached a video in the first message. I do not need to save the profiles as parts or have a separate cut. I happen to have profiles to which I have to do particular jobs but those in case I do them apart.

for personal experience I can't do the other than advise you to learn how to model as a god commands, the structural elements are unbeatable for what you have to do.
Of course, now you're probably doing simple jobs, but over time you're going to demand a little more complex work and if you don't exploit this fact now,
After you're under pressure, you won't have time to organize yourself properly.
Hi.
Here's the video I posted on the "Tube."

for personal experience quoting in full mike

 

[19marco77]

Good morning, nice people.

well then I will try to prepare the sketches as recommended by mike and try to remake the frame. as reference points is enough to put "points" in strategic positions? :

 

[eboss]

you have to set in the sketch of your anchoring points profile in addition to the origin so that you can use them as a reference if you have to change the point with which follows the "path/scratch" that makes skeleton to your frame.

Here's a stupid question:
do you feel uncomfortable having to calculate and add profile thicknesses to the sketch?
and to see the size of the resulting profile the only way is through the measured command?
I'm sweating ahahah....

 

[eboss]

I don't understand the question well, but what extent do you speak? If the "structural" profile sketch already has its measurements, you just have to point out to him what route "travel".

Sorry, I tried to explain too quickly.

the size that interests me is not "center to center" of the profiles. especially because the coupling is always on the wall and not at the corner. So if for example I leave from 2 parallel profiles thickness 40 mm I already have to calculate the thickness of the profiles to generate the third perpendicular profile that unites them. It is true that everything depends on what point I refer to regarding the sketch. but the frame I posted here has profiles of different sections and staggered among them. I don't know if I explained myself better...:biggrin:

what I understand.
a clear display of the requests for help is essential not to lose the desire to post to those who could give this blessed help.

It is clear that you did not place the problem of "exploring" the functions related to the "saving" toolbar, if not you would not post this last event; but maybe your solidworks installation doesn't work well and you don't have the online guide.
