I make a master sketch for a truss design. It can consists 4,6,8 webs. I want to automate these webs so that when I give command it will create truss with 4 or 6 or 8 webs.But I don't how to make this 4,6 or 8 webs.I create a master sketch which has upper truss and lower truss (equal length).Two truss distance which is width.I made sketch for half of the length in sketch design.Is there any way that I can automate sketch? How to automate with non-linear pattern?
how can I automate web4,web6 and web8?
Hi
To Automate the sketch you need to capture the Assembly and capture the dimensions in DriveWorksXpress.
You have a master sketch at the top level that is then being referenced by Parts lower down. This is a form of inconext design, so some things further down might not work. DriveWorksXpress handles one level of incontext design.
You would probably be better off creating the sketch in a Part and controlling it from there. You can then control how many instances there are in DriveWorks through a rule or by entering a value in the form. You should be able to capture the number of instances in a pattern and the distance as well.
I hope this helps.
Thanks
Matt
