Seeing as I have some free time on my hands I have finally gotten around to building my Lumber library for SolidWorks Weldments. I have done some projects using 2x4's, but as every cynical designer knows, a 2x4 actually measures 1.75 x 3.75 inches.
While most of my sensativities are offended by that nomenclture, it's apparently not a battle I'm going to win. Naturally, I turned to the source of all things moderately true, and looked up the true dimensions on Wikipedia.
I embarked on this little project to test my profiles, and I came up with a few things. First, I need to add points at the virtual sharp in my profiles for optimal profile placement. I also need to add a custom property that is the profile name in order for it to populate the Cut List. (Too bad profiles aren't configurable, because now I need to do it 20 times.)
Yes, I do have some free time on my hands, but I figured Y'all would enjoy the lumber library. I will post it here as soon as I go through it again. |
