Re: Solidworks weldment question.
If I understand your need, you have two options:
- Use locate profile option and pick the desired point in the profile to place the profile. You can edit a profile and add placement points as needed.
- Use move/copy under features to move the body as desired away from sketched line.

Re: Solidworks weldment question.
Thanks Deepak. That worked. I edited the sketch for the structural member (3" square tubing), selected the items in the sketch, and moved the items to where I wanted them to be. I wanted the tubing to be tangent to the 3d weldment sketch line instead of centered on it. Easy Peasy. I'm very new to SWX, about a month now. I came from an Inventor background (12 yrs).

Re: Solidworks weldment question.
Welcome to SolidWorks. I hope you like it. I'm pretty sure you will if you'll keep an open mind and learn how things work instead of getting upset that SW doesn't work like Inventor (and so far I haven't seen anything to indicate that that's been a problem for you).

Re: Solidworks weldment question.
Thanks Glenn. I like it a lot. They're very similar and I've already found most of the frequently used functionality I used in Inventor plus a bunch more that SWX has. It's as good or better than Inventor.

Re: Solidworks weldment question.
Yes
Well sort of, if by "offset" you are referring to a placement point and not a distance from that point.

Re: Solidworks weldment question.
Thanks J. Mather, a picture is worth a thousand words and you put together a great comparison OF SWX vs Inventor.
