Assembly Weldment

I am rather new to Works, I have worked in SolidEdge and ProE for 5
years now.

I am trying to create a fabricated bracket. I have several rings and
tubes that I would like to have welded together. Then once I have the
weldment created I would like to open that assembly in the part
environment and add my drilled holes and cutouts. Is there a workflow
to do this?

In SolidEdge I would just tag the assembly as a weldment, then it
could be opened in the part environment for all the post welding
operations. I like this workflow because it maintains all the
linkages between the weldment and final machining. If I want to
change a relationship in the weldment, the machined part is
automatically updated.

Thanks,

Dan,

Did you tried using weldment options in the part mode. I feel most of
your problem will get solved. Look for weldment under help and on line
tutorial.
