structural element: insertion point along path 3d sketch

[graziano-g]

Hi.

I'm sorry if I refer to inventor on time but I know that and sw I'm learning how to use... .

inventor: design a sketch in part environment, I insert it in environment together then select insert frame from the design menu.

now opens an interface in which I can choose besides the profile features also its orientation relative to the path....
horizontal tubular with central orientation
vertical tubular with orientation according to selected pattern with offset and rotation compared to the vertical line.I think it's better than the procedure you have to do in sw or better than the one I know, but apart from this, what I would like to know is if there is a possibility in sw to decide the orientation of the profile.

Thank you.

instead of working blind you should do the tutorials. are internal to the software.
the sketches of the structural elements are always perpendicular to the sketch of the path. in the options of the structural elements you can change the rotation (axle to the axis represented by the path) and the insertion point (represented by the sketch points within the profile)
in the structural elements you can select more than one route line, even not chained up. development is always perpendicular to the path
Remember that in solidworks there is multibody modeling

Hi.

thanks for the tone and directions.

drilling point.... certainly it is not immediate descriptive association to function, however it is like cycling, once learned do not forget it anymore.
