Easy way to add ALL Toolbox Structural to Weldments

Discussion in 'SolidWorks' started by Aron \(bacsdesign.com\), Jan 16, 2007.

  1. Hi,

    Is there a process of copying ALL the Toolbox Structural shapes to the
    Weldments/Structural Member dialog (ansi inch-iso/type/size) ?

    It seems like these two database should be the same but yet the Weldments
    dialog has only a sample of sizes and shapes.

    I like using what weldments has to offer, i.e. it is faster, than creating
    parts with toolbox. And from what I can see you cannot add welds, gussets,
    etc. to the parts when you make the assembly from those parts created by the
    toolbox? I may be incorrect...

    Anyway, I need to have them ALL added not just a few, so the process would
    have to be either automated or not very time consuming due to the different
    part profiles.

    Thanks,

    Aron

    If you are using 2007 go to the Solidworks content in the design
    library. There is a folder there for weldments that has all of the
    structural shapes you will need.
