Import Existing Frame Profiles

sean_trainor1988

I'm just starting to play around with the frame generator and it looks like a useful feature, but the profiles are limited. I know I can create a library of profiles but is it possible to import an existing library, such as those from Solidworks?

Or does anyone know if a library of custom profiles has already been created? I'm particularly interested in metric SHS, RHS and PFC profiles.

Have you looked into: https://learn.onshape.com/learn/course/frames-fundamentals/custom-profiles/creating-custom-profiles?page=1 ?

At least it tells how to make custom profiles. It should then be possible to use config. tables and save them for re-use.

@martin_kopplow Yes, I've done the course and I've started creating a few SHS and RHS profiles as I experiment with the frame generator. But I was wondering if there was a way to import existing profile libraries such as those created in Solidwork's weldments, or as DXFs instead of having to recreate my library.
