Hi,
First of all you are doing a great job man.
I have a question regarding Square tube.
I cannot find sizes less than TS2x2x0.1875 in Tube (Square) in weldments library.
if a size is not there, will i have to draw it and put the file in the weldments ANSI Inch folder?
if i have to add multiple sizes, can i do in an easier way instead of making lots of files?
Thanks Umair for kind words.
Yes you can add your own sizes as needed. And with the option of configurable weldment profiles (SW2014 and above), you can create various size for same shaped profile in single file using design table.
Me, absolute SW newbee, can’t seem to load any weldment standards from SolidWorks 2010. On my system I located some here:
C > Program Files > SolidWorks Corp > SolidWorks > data > weldment profiles > iso >
angle iron (folder)
c channel (folder)
pipe (folder)
rectangular tube (folder)
sb beam (folder)
square tube (this folder contains) >
20 x 20 x 2.sldlfp (142kb, date 2009)
30 x 30 x 2.6.sldlfp (144kb, date 2009)
40 x 40 x 4.sldlfp (144kb, date 2009)
80 x 80 x 5.sldlfp (133kb, date 2009)
I downloaded iso standards and ANSI inch standards, from within the program (through SolidWorks Content). This gets me many more files. The new square tubing folder for example runs up to 400 x 400 x 10mm tubes. The new file sizes are smaller and older (90 kb, date 2006). And file extensions are named in capitals (eg. 20 x 20 x 2.0.SLDLFP).
In weldments submenu everything is greyed out exept for Extruded Boss/Base and Reference Geometry. This doesn’t seem right.
1) How do I make the submenu ungreyed?
2) How do I make these 4 sizes available in the submenu?
3) Can I overwrite for example these 4 original files with the many more files I just downloaded in the location I mentioned above?
Thanks a lot for any pointers.
I have a question which folder is the correct folder ?
Stijn, the folder structure should be ABC.
A is the path for the folder that contains the Standard. For e.g. C:\SW Data\Weldment Profile
B is the path for the folder that contains the Types. For e.g. C:\SW Data\Weldment Profile\Inch
C is the path for the folder that contains the Sizes. For e.g. C:\SW Data\Weldment Profile\Inch\10×20.SLDLFP
So when setting up the weldment profile location, you need to set the location of A
It keeps downloading an empty zip file, it gives me an error when trying to extract the profiles.
It had always work great for me. Let me see if I can send you some files.
Hi Deepak,
I’ve just tried doing this but it won’t download for me. Do you have to be on susbscription for this?

Thought you’ve already sorted it out and I believe the reason is write access to the folder you were trying to download the parts.
