Hi All,

While inserting weldment structural member i can able to get only the parts as per the ANSI Inch Standard?

As default SolidWorks ONLY activates ANSI and ISO, depending on your choice when installing. However, more profiles can be found in the SolidWorks Content (see picture). In the weldments subfolder you have further standards that you can chose to install.

Ctrl-click on the standard you want to use, follow on screen instructions and finally add the File location for your newly installed profiles.

you can go to options -> File Location -> Choose ( Weldment Profile from the drop down Lit) and then browse to the folder for the profiles.
you have to take care for the folder structure of Weldment profiles.
e.x Profile name "C Channel" folder under Standard system "ISO" under Weldment profiles folder

you have to point to the Weldment profile folder when when browsing weldment profile in File Location.

Another solution is to copy the content of the Zip File to
C:\Program Files\SolidWorks Corp\SolidWorks\data\weldment profiles

1. You may extract the file to any file location of your choice.

2. In order to get the standards visible in property manager you need to set the File locations as Mohamed explained above.

Comment: If you extract to the installation folder as Mohamed writes you don't need to change file locations in options, but then again they will be removed when upgrading.
