It seems like this would be readily availible information, to list in a BOM. I use individual structural pieces in my assemblies, not always to build a weldment, but as a structural member to support something, or build off of. How do I get this information in a BOM, without hand typing? Im cool with adding custom properties, if I have to. Looking to automate our process. Less mistakes
Thank you, for your help and insight!
You can create a sketch and draw the profile of the structural member you are trying to create. Exit the sketch and then click on the sketch in the feature tree.
Go to File>Save As> save the profile in the location where your other weldments are located as a Lib Feat Part (.sldlfp). Once it is saved, go to custom properties and change the Description. Save again.
Now you can create a structural member and there should be a new option with the new profile you created.
Hope this help.
