Adding Cut Features to Structural Frame Parts
Cary_Bettenhausen
Member Posts: 51 PRO
What is the workflow for adding drilled holes, milling, etc. to frame members? When creating a cutlist I see the composite part but I would like to specify additional operations on the frame members themselves and I do not see a way to modify these individual parts and document these features in part drawings. My specific application is creation of a space frame chassis from round tubing with coped ends.

An idea, use configurations in the part studio.
Create your frame, and you have your cutlist.
Make your holes and other operations and suppres- unsuppres the sketches, extrudes etc in your configurationslist.
Now you can create assamblies, drawings etc of every configuration you have created.

I started an IR a while ago hoping to get 'part number' meta data included in cut list. The idea being to include information in cut list that will give drawing reference for any parts that need additional info past the cut list. Only items that need this require a part number applied.

Have there been any enhancements or is there updated guidance on how to add through holes into frames? Thanks!0

Its quite a basic feature, find it hard to believe that the cut list is so limited, adding additional data to it is very much necessary.0
