Profiles and Cut Lists

All structural members include the following attributes:

  • Structural members use profiles, for example, an angle iron.
  • Profiles are identified by Standard, Type, and Size. You can:
    • Create your own profiles and add them to the existing library of weldment profiles.
    • Specify the orientation and pierce point of the profile relative to the sketch segment.
  • Weldment profiles are located in: install_dir\lang\lang\weldment profiles. You can add or change locations for weldment profiles in Tools > Options > System Options > File Locations .
  • All groups in a single structural member must use the same profile.
  • Structural members appear in the FeatureManager design tree as Structural Member1, Structural Member2, and so on. Bodies created by the structural members appear under Cut list fm_cutlist_needs_update.png in the FeatureManager design tree.
  • You can assign materials to structural members.
